How to Make Ananas Dragon Cookies

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and pineapple juice.

Step 2: Add the Fruit

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Gently stir in the chopped dried pineapple, freeze-dried dragon fruit, and white chocolate chips if using.

Step 3: Scoop the Cookies

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.

Step 5: Cool

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 6: Serve

Enjoy the cookies slightly warm or completely cooled. Pair them with tea, coffee, or a cold glass of milk.

Tips for the Best Cookies

• Use freeze-dried dragon fruit instead of fresh to avoid excess moisture.
• Finely chop the dried pineapple for even distribution.
