Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats and, if using, the chopped walnuts or pecans.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
