Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 48 servings

Cookie Dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup softened butter

  • ½ cup vegetable shortening

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained with juice reserved

  • ½ cup grated carrot

  • ½ cup golden raisins

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

Frosting:

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tablespoon softened butter

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

  • 1 tablespoon juice from canned pineapple

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 4 cookie sheets.

  2. Make dough: Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until well combined; set aside.

  3. Beat together sugars, butter, and shortening in another bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Mix in flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in crushed pineapple, carrot, raisins, and walnuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheets before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

  5. Make frosting: Beat together cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and pineapple juice; beat until no lumps remain.

  6. Spread frosting on cooled cookies. Allow to dry completely before storing.
