These pineapple cookies are prepared with pineapple chunks and the delicious pineapple sugar glaze makes these cookies more tempting. You may add more pineapple chunks if you like more but in that case you may need to increase the amount of flour to make sticky dough, but this is the perfect recipe for pineapple cookies with optimum flavor.

Katie I made the pineapple cookies. Wasn't to happy with my results. But will be doing them again. I am sure it was an error on my part. I had to many things happening at the same time. I think the trouble was too much flour or maybe not enough liquid. I might also add more sugar, was not very sweet. Yeah, I know pay attention. CF:)

Hey, I was a nice little kid this morning - I didn't say it! And about that sugar - if you add more, it "broadens your horizons! Gotta watch that stuff
that you're forever getting in my face about................................:D
