Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chocolate chips — Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
- Crushed pineapple — Make sure to drain the pineapple well to avoid excess moisture in the cookie dough.
- Roasted peanuts — If you prefer a stronger peanut flavor, you can lightly toast the peanuts before chopping them.
Tips & Tricks
- For a more pronounced Taiwanese flavor, you can add a pinch of ground black sesame seeds to the cookie dough.
- If you prefer a softer texture, slightly underbake the cookies and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate, to customize the flavor of your cookies.
- To make the cookies extra indulgent, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crunchiness.
