PINEAPPLE-COCONUT DROP (SOFT) COOKIES
These cookies were always in great demand at our house whenever I made them. Our 5 children loved the pineapple-coconut combination. The only problem was, I couldn't keep them on hand very long. I found this recipe in an Albuquerque newspaper sometime in the '60's and have made them many times since then.

SOFT AND CHEWY PINEAPPLE COOKIES
Even if you don't care for pineapple, this soft and chewy cookie is fantastic! Mom's recipe (and her favorite, as well). Have to laugh, every time I make them, she CANNOT walk past them without taking one. You can add chopped nuts, too if you are a nut fan :)

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325
- 2. Drain pineapple but reserve 3 Tablespoons of the juice.
- 3. Cream together the shortening and sugar. Add the egg and mix well. Add the pineapple and vanilla and mix completely.
- 4. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly combine with the wet ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
- 5. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Optionally you can use a silpat without greasing. Place the cookies about 2" apart.
- 6. Bake at 325 for 17 - 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from baking sheet to a cooling rack.
- 7. Combine confectioner sugar and pineapple juice to a smooth spreading consistency. Spred on the tops of the cooled cookies.
- 8. These cookies keep very well in an airtight container and stay nice and soft and moist for a very long time.
- 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.
Baking and Cooling Hacks:
- Use fresh pineapple: The freshness of pineapple directly contributes to the final result. Using fresh pineapple provides a more vibrant color and a more pronounced pineapple taste in the cookies.
- Use room temperature butter: Using room temperature butter will allow it to mix more evenly with the sugars, creating a smoother, creamier batter. This will result in softer cookies with a better texture.
- Chill the pineapple before grating: Chilling the pineapple before grating it makes it easier to handle and also helps to prevent the cookies from becoming too soft.
- Don't overwork the batter: Overworked batter can result in tough, chewy cookies. Make sure to mix the batter until it is just combined, then stop.
- Use parchment paper: Using parchment paper to line your cooking sheet will prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan and will make it easier to remove them after they are baked.
- Bake the cookies at a low temperature: The cookies should be baked at a low temperature, around 300°F, to prevent them from browning too quickly. This will also help to ensure that they are soft and chewy.
- Don't over-bake the cookies: The cookies should be baked until they are just set around the center, but not completely brown. Over-baked cookies will be hard and crispy.
Conclusion:
These pineapple cookies are a delicious, soft, and chewy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be made with ingredients that you probably already have on hand. The cookies are also great for gifting or taking to potlucks and parties. So give this recipe a try and enjoy the deliciousness of pineapple cookies.
