Ingredients

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs

  • 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 can crushed pineapple, 20 oz size, do not drain

How To Make pineapple cookies

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Step 2
    In large mixing bowl, beat shortening for a minute or two, until fluffy-ish, scraping edges. Add both sugars to bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  • Step 3
    In a separate large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Step 4
    Add pineapple in its juice alternately with flour mixture to creamed sugar mixture, beating slowly. Scraping sides and bottom of bowl as needed.
  • Step 5
    Scoop out onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, I use a medium size cookie scoop. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until cookies are very lightly brown around edges. The bottomes should be a golden brown color. Remove immediately to cooling racks.
  • Step 6
    Store in a sealed container for up to 5 days. When placing in your storage container, place wax paper between layers or they will stick together because these cookie soften up to a cake like cookie after going in a container with lid on.
  • Step 7
    NOTE: My old oven took longer to bake these, about 15 minutes. My new oven, on convection setting, only took 10 minutes.
