Candied Pineapple White Chocolate Cookies

Teresa Ambra
Candied Pineapple White Chocolate Cookies are heavenly. These delicious Oatmeal Cookies include candied pineapple and real white chocolate chips for a robust and delightful flavor that can't be beat. The texture is soft and chewy rather than crispy or crunchy. They're perfect for holiday baking, tailgating parties or a Christmas Cookie Exchange. If you're a cookie lover, these cookies need to be on the top of your holiday baking list!

Notes

NOTE: The only place in the Dallas Metroplex that I’ve been able to find true white chocolate chips is the Kroger private selection and Trader Joe’s.
 
NOTE: This recipe uses REAL white chocolate chips--not vanilla chips or premiere white baking chips. Those have NO cocoa in the ingredients so they are NOT white chocolate.
