How to Make Tropical Dried Fruit Choc Chip Cookies With A Crunch

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in 1 cup dried pineapple chunks, ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut, 1 cup chocolate chips, and 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal.
  7. Drop heaping tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
