Ingredients

  • ¾ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1 ¼ cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Spread pecans and coconut onto a baking sheet.

Step 2
Toast in the preheated oven until coconut is very light golden brown and pecans become fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 10 minutes. Leave the oven on.

Step 3
Pulse oats in a blender or food processor until slightly ground.

Step 4
Mix brown sugar, white sugar, and butter together in a bowl. Add pineapple, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

Step 5
Mix oats, flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl; mix into the wet ingredients. Stir in toasted coconut and pecans. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook’s Notes:

Toasting coconut and pecans is optional. I think the flavor is deeper if you do.
