My Husband just came into the kitchen where I was and asked Me what I was doing. When I told Him, I'm coping the recipe to the Fluffy Pineapple Cookies, his reaction was, "Soon, I hope". Looks like I'm gonna have to get the ingredients I need to make these Cookies!
Delicious cookies and so easy to make
These look amazing but I’m not clear on the crushed pineapple with juice. I would think the amount of juice could vary widely each time. How do you measure this out? Do you pour the pineapple and juice right out of the can into the measuring cup or do you spoon it out? Maybe I haven’t had canned crushed pineapple in a while and I’m forgetting what it’s like. Lol. It’s probably more solid/homogeneous than I’m imagining.
Hi Bea- I just spoon it out. 🙂
Just made these and they are absolutely delicious and easy to make.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I am glad you enjoyed the cookies.
Do these freeze well?
Hi Maria – I haven’t frozen them so I can’t say for sure. You could freeze them unfrosted or frosted and see how it goes. Good luck!
I want to make these but I am wondering I make up the batter the night before if they will still turn out right?
The cookie dough should be fine. The colder it is the less it will spread when it bakes. I would try a test cookie and make sure it is to your liking. You could let it warm up a bit to room temp if needed.
if I was to roll it out and bake one big cookie how long would I bake it for
Hi- I personally have no idea but I googled it for you and found this result:
