Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 2 cups
- Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, softened
- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup, packed
- Egg
- 1 large
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Crushed pineapple
- 1 cup, well-drained
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve these tropical delights with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience!
Tips
- For an extra tropical touch, consider adding shredded coconut to the dough.
- If you prefer a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking sheet.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark or white chocolate, for a unique flavor twist.
