SOFT AND CHEWY PINEAPPLE COOKIES



Soft and Chewy Pineapple Cookies image

Even if you don't care for pineapple, this soft and chewy cookie is fantastic! Mom's recipe (and her favorite, as well). Have to laugh, every time I make them, she CANNOT walk past them without taking one. You can add chopped nuts, too if you are a nut fan :)

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 27m

Yield 5 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Stir vanilla into pineapple; set aside.
  • Cream shortening, sugars and eggs.
  • Add pineapple and stir until well blended.
  • In separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; mix well.
  • Stir flour mixture gradually into pineapple mixture until thoroughly combined.
  • Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven, resulting in a thicker, softer cookie.
  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple has a brighter flavor than canned pineapple, and it will also yield more juice. If you don't have fresh pineapple on hand, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are just beginning to brown, then remove them from the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Soft iced pineapple cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a sweet and tangy flavor. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the pineapple cookies, adding a creamy and tangy flavor. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
