Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or coconut extract
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 to 8 ounces Dried Sweetened Pineapple *
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Instructions
- Heat oven to 385 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix for 1 minute longer.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt. Don't overmix once you add the dry ingredients or it will produce too much gluten in the dough.
- Fold in chopped dried pineapple and flaked coconut.
- Scoop the dough onto parchment paper lined, light-colored baking sheets, spaced at least two inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. DO NOT overbake the cookies as they will continue to bake once they are removed from the oven. For more gourmet cookies, place several white chocolate chips and dried cranberries on top of cookies, once you remove from the oven.
- Let set up on baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes
- I would suggest using sweetened dried pineapple made with dried pineapple and sugar.
