Frosted Pineapple Cookies

Frosted Pineapple Cookies are the perfect cookie for Day 13 of our 25 days of Holiday Cookies and Treats!

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 every thing 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!
