Pineapple Cookies

"These pineapple cookies are the perfect sweet treat, dotted with bits of pineapple and topped with an optional icing" the website

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

1 cup butter, softened to room temperature; 1 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed; 1 egg; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 3/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained and juice reserved; 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 1/2 tsp baking soda; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp nutmeg

For the Icing (Optional):

2 cups powdered sugar; 4-6 TBSP reserved pineapple juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it begins to lighten in colour.

Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Add crushed pineapple and mix just until incorporated.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.

With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until combined and a soft dough forms.

Scoop dough out and roll into balls. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden-brown.

Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

To prepare icing, whisk together powdered sugar and 4 tblsp of pineapple juice. If needed, add more juice, 1/2 tblsp at a time, until preferred consistency is reached. You want it to be thin enough to dip into, but no so thin that it runs off the cookies completely.

Once cookies are cool, dip the tops in the icing, and return to cooling rack so the icing can set to a satiny finish.
