pineapple cookies

i absolutely love these pineapple cookies.. they are so soft and just... YUM! check them out!!


Nanny's Pineapple Cookies

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup shortening (we always used veg oil or Crisco, melted and cooled some)
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 can (small) crushed pineapple
4 cups flour

Blend shortening, sugar until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and pineapple and stir til combined.

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix with wet ingredients until combined. Do not beat batter.

You have a few options here. You can drop spoonfuls on the tray and bake or you can refrigerate the batter for a few hours and then take it out and roll the dough (using more flour as needed) and cut them out into circles. Either way, the cookie turns out yummy. I tend to like to roll them out as it makes them a bit more on the "drier" side. Because there is pineapple in these cookies they are VERY moist.

Bake in 350 degree oven until puffed and lightly browned on the edges. Approximately 12-15 minutes.
