Frosted Pineapple Cookies are the perfect cookie for Day 13 of our 25 days of Holiday Cookies and Treats!
Frosted Pineapple Cookies
I continue to be on a tropical cookie theme......Maybe I need a vacation to a tropical island more than I realized. Oh my! I seem to be finding ways to put coconut, pineapple, and rum in everything I can.
For the non-coconut fans, you will be happy to know I left the coconut out of this cookie.
For the coconut fans, you could easily add coconut into this cookie if you love it and can't live without it.
These cookies are crazy easy to make, moist, delicious, and hopefully, transport you to a gorgeous tropical beach!
Ingredients
- Crushed pineapple
- Shortening
- Brown sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Confectioners sugar
Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
Cookie Scoop - A cookie scoop makes it so easy to get consistent cookies that all look great together.
Parchment Paper - I am a huge fan of using parchment paper to make clean up and serving so much easier.
Baking Sheet - I like to use baking sheets with sides so there is no way I can be clumsy and have the cookies slide right off into the oven {not that I want to admit that it has happened but I did learn my lesson.}
Heat resistant potholders - A couple of years ago we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.
