- ½ cup shortening
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ cup canned crushed pineapple drained well, reserve 3 tbsp. juice
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
Pineapple Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp. reserved pineapple juice
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, cream together shortening and both sugars using a hand mixer. Add egg and mix. Add lemon juice & vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Add to wet ingredients along with drained pineapple. Mix until just combined.
Shape cookie dough into 1-½ inch balls (#30 scoop) and place on a cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake cookies 10-12 minutes until the edges just begin to brown.
Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to finish cooling before glazing.
Pineapple Glaze
In a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar & reserved pineapple juice. Start with 2 tablespoons of juice and add a little more until a thick, but pourable glaze is reached.
Place a spoonful of glaze on top of each cooled cookie. Using the back of the spoon spread the glaze on top of the cookie. Allow the cookies to dry completely before storing in an airtight container.
