Pineapple Cookies
Description
Pineapple Cookies start by creaming butter and brown sugar until fluffy, then incorporating egg, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract for moisture and fruity flavor. Dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt are mixed separately, then combined gradually with the wet mixture to form dough. The dough is portioned with a cookie scoop onto a baking sheet and baked at a moderate temperature until golden.
The baked cookies are cooled on wire racks and finished with a frosting made from confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, and reserved pineapple juice, which is adjusted for spreadability. The result is a slightly soft cookie with a fresh, sweet pineapple taste balanced by the tangy lemon glaze.
These cookies offer a gentle tropical twist to traditional cookies and can be served as a dessert or snack.
