How To Make soft iced pineapple cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325

Step 2

Drain pineapple but reserve 3 Tablespoons of the juice.
Step 3

Cream together the shortening and sugar. Add the egg and mix well. Add the pineapple and vanilla and mix completely.
Step 4

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly combine with the wet ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
Step 5

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Optionally you can use a silpat without greasing. Place the cookies about 2" apart.
Step 6

Bake at 325 for 17 - 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from baking sheet to a cooling rack.
Step 7

Combine confectioner sugar and pineapple juice to a smooth spreading consistency. Spred on the tops of the cooled cookies.
Step 8

These cookies keep very well in an airtight container and stay nice and soft and moist for a very long time.
Step 9

***** NOTES: I have used fresh pineapple in these cookies and let me tell you, they are even more awesome ! Also, I made this same recipe with fresh oranges and they were delicious. If you like coconut you might consider adding a small amount of that to your batter.
