Pineapple Oatmeal Cookies

Submitted by CarbFiend

"A fun twist on the traditional oatmeal raisin cookie, this is a unique combination that is absolutely delicious. I brought these to a BBQ this weekend and they were gone before I knew it! I don't remember where I got the recipe- I copied it from a magazine at some point."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 6 dozen
• Serves: 72

ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1⁄2 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 egg
• 3 cups quick-cooking oats
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup raisins

directions

1. Drain pineapple well, reserving 1/2 Cup of juice.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, crushed pineapple and reserved juice. (Mixture will be very wet).
3. In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and raisins. Stir into pineapple mixture.
4. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 300 for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Remove to wire racks to cool. (Unfortunately I didn't copy down the oven temp when I copied the recipe. I played with it a bit and found 300 to work well for me, even though it seems a bit low).

I feel in love with pineapple oatmeal cookies from a small bakery in Washington, so went to find a recipe well this is not it. I made these cookies and was not happy at all. they turned out more like a small muffin texture. We ate 1 apiece and I threw the rest out, the only thing that was great is that the recipe didnt make the 7 dozen it promised I got 25 to 30 cookies about the roundness of a 12 oz coke can. I do not recomend these cookies, they were not for me.

The cookies i know about that you people have never tryed. Just take out most of the thing from this cookies respies and leave pineapple and oatmeal soft no other things that you see in here, use a bottom of a glass to flating out the cookies and use the pineapple juice with the bottom of the gleass not don't put in no other. Just use white flower and if you want to add any other thing then you can but try this first only.
