PINEAPPLE NUT COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Grease a cookie sheet. Set aside. Drain pineapple, reserving the juice for frosting. Set pineapple and juice aside. In a large mixing bowl beat the butter (or margarine) with an electric mixer on medium to high speed about 30 seconds or until softened. Add about half of the flour to the butter. Then add brown sugar, eggs, baking powder, vanilla, and baking soda. Beat until thoroughly combined. Beat or stir in the remaining flour. Then stir in the drained pineapple and pecans. Drop dough from a rounded teaspoon 2 apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake in a 375F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove cookies from the cookie sheet and cool on a wire rack. Frost cookies with Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting. Store in refrigerator.
• 2. Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting: In a small bowl beat 2 tablespoons of soft style cream cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 tablespoon of reserved juice until well combined. Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar. If necessary, beat in an additional 1 or 2 tablespoons of the reserved juice to make a frosting of spreadable consistency. Makes about 3/4 cup.

~ PINEAPPLE NUT COOKIES ~

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Lightly grease baking sheet or line with parchment paper as I did. Sift the dry ingredients together. Set aside. Cream sugars and shortening, add egg and beat in well. Beat in vanilla and 1 cup pineapple. Now add flour mixture beating well after each addition. Mix in the nuts.
• 2. Drop by teaspoonfuls on prepared sheet.
• 3. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until just beginning to golden around edges. I always remove from oven when they look like they're not quite done on the top, this insures they aren't over baked. Cool on rack.
• 4. Mix glaze ingredients in a bowl. Add more or less sugar, depending on your preference in thickness.
• 5. I glaze while still warm, then go back and add a little more glaze later. You can use a simple confectioner's sugar glaze without the pineapple or a whipped frosting, such as cream cheese. I've made the cream cheese before and added some pineapple to it. Freeze well. Keep in an air tight container. Enjoy!
