Time 1h20m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 pound butter, softened and cut into pieces
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened and cut into pieces
2 (10 ounce) jars pineapple preserves

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.

PINEAPPLE PASTRY



Pineapple Pastry image

This is a great recipe for all festive occassions. I doubled the recipe so I could have more layers. The cake was huge so everyone had a big portion. I used Non-dairy ready to whip topping instead of the cream. If using heavy whipping cream, u will have to add 2-3tbs confectioners sugar to the cream half way through whipping. Vanilla ice-cream is also a great option, but then the cake will have to kept in the freezer. Transfer to the refrigerator for sometime before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple has the best flavor and texture for this recipe. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the pastries tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the pastries hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the pastries until they are golden brown: The pastries are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the pastries cool before glazing: Let the pastries cool for a few minutes before glazing them. This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

Pineapple pastries are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple dough that is filled with a sweet and tangy pineapple filling. The pastries are then baked until they are golden brown and glazed with a simple glaze. These pastries can be served warm or cold and are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
