Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 120 grams crushed pineapple (drained)
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 30 grams powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just slightly golden. The centers should remain soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
If desired, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
