Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
In a large bowl, cream together shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, pineapple, and vanilla; beat thoroughly. Gradually add flour mixture and blend.
Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of coconut. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden.
Cool slightly and remove from pan with a spatula.
Notes
We like to substitute rum extract for the vanilla extract for that real tropical island flavor.
