PINEAPPLE-COCONUT DROP (SOFT) COOKIES
These cookies were always in great demand at our house whenever I made them. Our 5 children loved the pineapple-coconut combination. The only problem was, I couldn't keep them on hand very long. I found this recipe in an Albuquerque newspaper sometime in the '60's and have made them many times since then.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place sugar in a bowl.
- Place flour in a large mixing bowl. Begin working butter into flour slowly until fully incorporated. Repeat process gradually with cream cheese, kneading dough until uniform and no longer crumbly. Form into 1 inch balls, then flatten with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch. (This may also be done by rolling out the entire amount of dough and cutting rounds with a biscuit cutter.)
- Place 1 tablespoon preserves on each dough center. Fold over, and seal with fingers or press to seal with a fork. Place cookies on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Cookie will remain white and should not be browned, and it is normal for some filling to leak from the cookie. When cookies are cool enough to handle, roll in sugar until evenly coated. Transfer to a platter to cool completely.

LEMON PINEAPPLE CAKE MIX COOKIES WITH PINEAPPLE GLAZE RECIPE - (4.2/5)
Provided by cecelia26_
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix all the ingredients for the cookies with an electric mixer. Drop by teaspoons onto a baking stone or cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool a bit before icing with the glaze. To make the glaze, stir a teaspoon of juice at a time into the powdered sugar until it reaches a spreadable consistency. It should be a bit thinner than regular frosting, but not too thin. Sprinkle with Coarse Sugar Crystals, optional.
Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. Fresh pineapple is sweeter and juicier than canned pineapple, and it will give your cookies a more intense pineapple flavor.
- Grate the pineapple finely. This will help to distribute the pineapple flavor throughout the cookies and prevent them from becoming too dry.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming too soft and sticky.
Conclusion:
These 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 pineapple flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these cookies in no time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these pineapple cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
