Ingredients

1 cup unsalted, butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar (I used 1 cup each light and dark)
2 large eggs
1 cup unbleached A.P. flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup medium shred unsweetened coconut
1 cup chopped, fresh pineapple (about 1/2 a small one)

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350F. Cream butter with sugars until light and fluffy
2

Beat in eggs, one at a time
3

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture in about 3 additions.
4

Stir in coconut and pineapple. (I put the cookie dough in the refrigerator overnight at this point or you could portion out into cookies and freeze)
5

Portion out on cookie sheet to whatever size you want. Bake about 10-12 minutes are until golden on edges...I like my cookies still a bit moist in the centre. Enjoy! They are very tasty with ice cream and would probably make great ice cream sandwiches as they are fairly soft.
