HAWAIIAN DREAM COOKIES
These cookies are lovely as they are, but I'll sometimes use a light-colored sanding sugar for the top: First, lightly brush the top cookie with cream, then sprinkle with sanding sugar. This can be done before or after placing the cookie on top of the filling. -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

HAWAII 5-0 COOKIES
I am not a great cook, but I love to make these cookies with my kids. They got their name because I would always say, "Cook 'em, Dano" when I put them in the oven, and my squad car number is 5-0, so my kids started calling them the Hawaii 5-0 cookies. Even though they are quick and super easy, they still taste great.

- Spread well drained 1 cup crushed pineapple over the cooled cooked base.

- Return to oven at 375 degrees and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Use room temperature butter: This will help the cookies spread properly and be more tender. If you forget to take the butter out of the fridge ahead of time, you can microwave it on low power for a few seconds to soften it.
- Chill the dough: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop: This will help you to get evenly sized cookies. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon to measure out the dough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and the tops should be set. If you overbake the cookies, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Hawaiian Dream Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, sweet and nutty flavor, and colorful sprinkles, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
