Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and coconut extract until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, sweetened shredded coconut, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown while the centers remain soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your tropical Pina Colada Cookies!
