Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 whole large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup dried pineapple (chopped)
- 0.75 cup macadamia nuts (chopped)
- 0.5 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 mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, shredded coconut, dried pineapple, macadamia nuts, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a rounded tablespoon or cookie scoop, 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 slightly underbaked.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with a glass of milk or a tropical drink and let the flavors take you on a vacation!
