After spotting dried pineapple pieces at the grocery store, I had the idea of baking cookies which were different than the ordinary oatmeal raisin cookie. The rice krispies give them a nice crunch, but they are still chewy and soft with the coconut. Any type of dried fruit can be substituted for the pineapple pieces that I suggest. These cookies are sweet, so you may reduce the amount of sugar used, although I have not tried it. This batter is easily doubled. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 large egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cup flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup rice krispies |
1/2 cup chocolate chips (more if desired) |
1/2 cup shredded coconut |
3/4 cup dried pineapple, cut to size |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
2. Combine butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in egg and vanilla; mix well.
4. Sift together flower and baking powder, gradually incorporate into wet mixture.
5. Fold in remaining ingredients.
6. Drop heaping spoonfuls or roll 1 inch balls of batter onto cookie sheet; bake 15 minutes until tops are golden brown.
