I was disappointed in these cookies. Part of the problem is my own, Ithink. i got 7 doz. from the recipe instead of 5 - should have baked them for 10 min. instead of 12. they were a little dry and they had very little pineapple taste - i drained the pineapple really well - maybe should have left some juice?? i will try them again, maybe!

Pineapple is my favorite fruit so I thought I'd give these cookies a try. I used fresh pineapple, mashed it up and drained it. The cookies taste fine and are chewy, but don't really taste much like pineapple. The flavor really reminds me of a plain sugar cookie. My mother said they tasted pineappley, so maybe it's just me.

Manda, your Moms favorite cookie is now my favorite cookie. I adore pineapple. I made these for a neighbor, then had to do it again for us! I took the advice of the previous reviewer and put wax paper between layers of cookies.I baked mine for 12 minutes. So easy to make, and SO good to eat!

My DH and DD are the pineapple fans, not myself. I did think this was a good cookie, though, but different from what I expected from some of the reviews. I was expecting a not too sweet, mildly flavored base, so the first thing I did was make up a batch of cream cheese frosting to have ready for them before I even made the cookies. I needn’t have bothered. My cookies turned out full of pineapple flavor and brown sugar sweetness. Kind of like pineapple upside down cake cookies. We used the frosting on other items, as these were fine by themselves. My cookies were also slightly chewy, not cakey. (I used half regular shortening and half butter flavored shortening, and baked them for the specified time on chilled, parchment-lined cookie sheets.) I’m looking forward to trying different things with this recipe, such as nuts and coconuts, as another reviewer suggested, or maybe even throwing in some white chocolate chips. Thanks bunches!
