These are the best pineapple cookies—sweet and moist with real tropical flavor. Because they are unique and look so pretty, these cookies are a hit whenever I serve them. People can't seem to eat just one! —Mary DeVoe, Bradenton, Florida

Ingredients

1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Drain pineapple, reserving 3 tablespoons juice. Set pineapple aside; set juice aside for frosting. In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add pineapple and vanilla; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture.
Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For frosting, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar with enough of the reserved pineapple juice to achieve a smooth spreading consistency. Frost cooled cookies. Yield: 3 dozen.

These were very easy to make and a refreshing change from the standard chocolate chip. Light, cakey and yummy!!

Such a great tasting cookie! They started disappearing before they got glazed. Not really sure of I'll even bother with the glaze next time. Fantastic! Thanks for the recipe! Oh and got almost 4 dozen using a #60 scoop.

These cake-like cookies are very yummy! They are very different from your average cookie, pineapple is a welcome change.

These are good cookies... I substituted butter instead of the shortening and added about a cup of chopped walnuts. Different from your average cookie. They are moist, I could almost imagine cooking these as muffins instead of cookies. They are more "cakey" and soft rather than a crispy cookie. The frosting is more of a glaze than a frosting. But all in all, quite tastie.

I don't have children at home, so when I get in the baking mode I bake and take it to work and they love what ever I make well needless to say I made these and they were a big hit in fact they just ask me when I was going to make the pineapple cookies, so this week they will have them. They are very easy to make and delicious.
