Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple drained

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Step 3: Add the Egg and Vanilla
  • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Step 5: Fold in Coconut and Pineapple
  • Gently fold in the shredded coconut and drained crushed pineapple. Be careful not to overmix to avoid excess moisture from the pineapple.
  • Step 6: Shape the Cookies
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Step 7: Bake
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.
  • Step 8: Cool and Serve
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
