Tips:

Use fresh, ripe bettes for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh bettes, you can use frozen or canned bettes, but fresh is always best.
Be sure to drain the bettes well before using them, or the cookies will be too wet.
If you don't have pineapple, you can use another type of fruit, such as applesauce, pearsauce, or bananas.
Be sure to grease the cookie sheets well, or the cookies will stick.
Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges, but still soft in the center.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.
If you don't have cream cheese, you can use another type of frosting, such as buttercream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These bettes pineapple cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a sweet and tangy flavor.
