Brazilian White Chocolate Chippers

We loved these cookies with a tropical touch.  They’re made with big chunks of Brazil nuts, pieces of pineapple, and white chocolate chips.  Of course, if you’re a dark chocolate fan, you can change out the chips.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cups quick oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup coarsely chopped Brazil nuts
3/4 cup dried pineapple, diced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

1. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, oats, and baking soda. 
2. In another bowl, cream the butter with the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt.  Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. 
3. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat until combined.  Fold in the chips, nuts, and pineapple pieces.
4. Drop spoonfuls on a lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges begin to brown.   Cool on a wire rack.
