Pineapple Cookies

It seems as though I have fallen off of the bandwagon again.  This last month has been a little crazy: from moving and applying and interviewing for new jobs to starting school.  All is well, but I need to catch up.  In the next couple of days I will be working on a few updates to the blog, but to tide you over I have a quick and sweet recipe to share with you.


Pineapple Cookies

Pineapple Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup shortening
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 1 egg
• 9 oz. crushed pineapple
• 3-1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

1. Cream together the shortening, sugar and egg.
2. Once combined add the crushed pineapple, flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
3. Spoon onto ungreased baking sheets and bake at 400° F for 8-10 minutes.

When making cookies I like to use parchment paper on the baking pan for easy cookie removal (and clean up).  Also, when making the dough don't add all of the flour in at once.  If you have never made cookies before, just try it...but keep a broom near by.  HAHA!  To avoid the mess though, adding in the dry ingredients slowly and in smaller increments to the wet will help you to avoid flour EVERYWHERE!!!

But that is all I have for everyone tonight.  Keep an eye open for some upcoming recipes and reviews.
Until then...

Happy snacking!
