"Luau" Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted, butter, softened ⓘ
- 2 cups brown sugar (I used 1 cup each light and dark) ⓘ
- 2 large eggs ⓘ
- 1 cup unbleached A.P. flour ⓘ
- 2 cups whole wheat flour ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon baking powder ⓘ
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda ⓘ
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt ⓘ
- 3/4 cup medium shred unsweetened coconut ⓘ
- 1 cup chopped, fresh pineapple (about 1/2 a small one) ⓘ
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Cream butter with sugars until light and fluffy
- Beat in eggs, one at a time
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture in about 3 additions.
- Stir in coconut and pineapple. (I put the cookie dough in the refrigerator overnight at this point or you could portion out into cookies and freeze)
- Portion out on cookie sheet to whatever size you want. Bake about 10-12 minutes are until golden on edges...I like my cookies still a bit moist in the centre. Enjoy! They are very tasty with ice cream and would probably make great ice cream sandwiches as they are fairly soft.
