Soft and Chewy Pineapple Cookies

"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 :)"

  1. Manda, your Moms favorite cookie is now my favorite cookie. I adore pineapple. I made these for a neighbor, then had to do it again for us! I took the advice of the previous reviewer and put wax paper between layers of cookies.I baked mine for 12 minutes. So easy to make, and SO good to eat!
     
  2. These are fantastic cookies. The only thing I would add is a note saying not to stack these cookies as they will stick together. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
     
  3. Used dark brown sugar and cookies turned out good, cakey middle chewy outer crust. Next time I will omit the baking powder for a less cakey cookie.
     
  4. i made them, very tasty...not too sweet...but i was disappointed because they weren't chewy...more cakry...but substituted canola oil for the shortening so that may be why. all in all, a great cookie to have w/tea.
     
  5. I tried it with just pineapple and thought it needed something more. So I added coconut & chopped pecans. I think they are perfect now! My neighbor loved them and just ran away with my recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!) I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit. My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
