Whatever Wednesday ( Pineapple Cookies)

Pineapple Cookie Recipe

{recipe from the kitchen of Lavon Scott}

makes about 3 dozen

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup shortening
  
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup crushed pineapple – next time, I may add more pineapple
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• cinnamon + sugar for sprinkling – optional, but recommended

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

With an electric mixer, cream together shortening and sugar until it’s nice and smooth. Add one egg at a time, mix until well combined. Add in the pineapple.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt and baking soda. Carefully add the dry ingredients to the pineapple mixture.

Using an ice cream scooper, scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to space them about 2″ apart.  

Optional, sprinkle cinnamon & sugar on top each cookie before baking.

Bake for 10-15 minutes.
