Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla 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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and coconut extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, sweetened shredded coconut, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown while the centers remain soft.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your tropical Pina Colada Cookies!
