How to Make Soft And Chewy Pineapple Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup crushed pineapple and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in the pineapple mixture until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (optional).
  8. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
