My pineapple love
extends far beyond cute decor and tops, it is deeply rooted for my love of the
fruit and the tasty sweet concoctions created from it. My most viewed post of
all time, like 25,000+ is the beloved, hid from the kids so good, Pineapple Pretzel Fluff Dessert. Yet, why stop
there when I could also create a Pineapple Cheesecake Trifle.
With the
weather being so dreary, I needed some sunshine in the kitchen and after
thinking of the beloved fruit and how good it tastes with cream cheese, these
cookies were created with such love and devoured with even more sweet love. My
goodness, these are delicious and with the fresh pineapple garnishing the top,
well they are pure pineapple bliss in cookie form.

What you'll need
PINEAPPLE COOKIES
WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
INGREDIENTS
1 (8oz) can crushed pineapple, juice drained and reserved
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
For the Frosting:
1 (8oz) brick cream cheese, softened
¼ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon of the reserved pineapple juice
3 cups sifted powdered sugar
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets (I use
baking stones). In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add in half
the flour and beat until just mixed. Add brown sugar, eggs and vanilla and mix
until blended. Add in rest of flour, the baking powder and baking soda and beat
until blended. Stir in the drained pineapple. Drop dough by rounded Tablespoons
on prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are slightly
browned. Remove and cool on a wire rack or waxed paper. For the frosting, cream
together the cream cheese and the butter, beat in the vanilla and pineapple
juice. Slowly beat in the sifted powdered sugar. Frost by teaspoonful’s on top
of cooled cookies. Top with fresh pineapple pieces. Sore in refrigerator. Makes
2-2 1/2 dozen cookies.
