This tropically-inspired cookie is perfect to make the next time you feel like you need a bit of a vacation (but don't want to shell out the big bucks to do it!). These fruit cookies have a delicate sweetness that make them perfect for a light cookie to munch on during an afternoon tea with loved ones.

What You'll Need

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup vegetable shortening
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in its own juice, undrained

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, cream sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Add eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla to sugar mixture and continue beating until combined.
Reduce speed to low and add crushed pineapple and juice, beating until combined; gradually add flour mixture and continue beating at low speed until thoroughly combined. The mixture will be thick.
Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool.

I would not make these again. They came out too soft and did not brown much. I love pineapple but will look for another item to bake.

I am very disappointed, these cookies sounded really good, but I did not care for them at all. The flavor was very bland, and the tops came out very light, not golden, and the bottoms came out very dark, almost burnt. I know it is not my oven, because it is brand-new, and everything else I have made turned out fine. The cookies were also more of a cake-like consistency, not that of a cookie. I will not ever make these again.
