How to Make Aloha Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or spray two cookie sheets.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening and ¾ cup packed brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon lemon extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups rolled oats, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained), 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, and ½ cup chopped nuts (macadamia nuts recommended!).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
