These cookies may sound and look fancy, but they're rather easy to make Their simplicity makes them an ideal choice for baking with children. My granddaughter enjoys helping me measure the ingredients. Children also can help shape the dough into balls, and then you can finish them together. -Connie Shuff, York, Pennsylvania

These tassies are the perfect summer dessert. They're light and refreshing, and the pineapple filling is the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.

These tassies are a great way to use up leftover pineapple. I always have a few cans of pineapple in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

I'm not a huge fan of pineapple, but I really enjoyed these tassies. The coconut crust is the perfect balance for the tart pineapple filling.

I was looking for a healthier dessert option, and these tassies fit the bill. They're made with whole wheat flour and coconut oil, so they're a bit healthier than traditional tassies. But they're just as delicious!
