Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.75 cup Shredded carrots
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Mix in the drained crushed pineapple and shredded carrots until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops look set.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

If desired, dust the cooled cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
