Joanne Fluke's - Pineapple Delights

4 sticks butter, melted
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pineapple extract*
4 cups flour
2 ½ cups chopped dried pineapple**, measure AFTER chopping
½ cup coconut flakes, chopped (measure after chopping)
3 cups rolled oats, (Quaker Oats Quick)

Preheat oven to 350° F, rack in the middle position.

Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. (About 3 minutes on HIGH.) Add the sugars and let it cool a bit. Then add the beaten eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pineapple extract. Mix in the flour. Then add the chopped pineapple, chopped coconut, and rolled oats, mixing them in thoroughly. The dough will be quite stiff.

Drop by teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet, 12 to a sheet. (She rolls hers in a ball so the cookies turn out nice and round.)

Bake at 350° F for 12-15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.
*Use vanilla extract if unable to find pineapple.
**Measure AFTER chopping; If unable to find pineapple, substitute any dried fruit chopped in chocolate chip-sized pieces.

These freeze really well if you roll them in foil and put them in a freezer bag.
