Servings: 48
Calories: 54kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter or shortening
- 1½ cups natural sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 8.5-ounce can of crushed pineapple with juice
- 2 cups canned pineapple chunks cut into small pieces; each piece in 4 pieces
- 3½ cups Gluten-free flour I use Bob's Redmill Gluten Free One-to-One Baking Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¾ cup chopped pecans or almonds optional
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400F degrees.
- Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and blend thoroughly.
- Add the crushed pineapple and cut-up pineapple tidbits, and mix.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
- Dump the dry mixture into the wet mixture a little at a time and stir to combine.
- Add the nuts (if using). Stir to combine.
- Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Or for easier clean-up, cover the baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper before placing the cookies on the sheets.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 400F degrees until the cookies spring back to touch and are just starting to turn brown around the edges.
- Cool the cookies on a cooling rack. Store in an air-tight container.
- Cookies can be frozen to thaw and eaten later (if they last that long)!
