Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple gives the cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies keep their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies will continue to cook as they cool, so it's important to take them out of the oven when they are just set. You can tell that they are done when the edges are golden brown and the centers are no longer doughy.

Conclusion:

Pineapple drop cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and tangy pineapple flavor. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
