I was hesitant to try an un-reviewed recipe, but I figured that all of the recipes on here were at one time un-reviewed so I went for it. I was looking for a cookie recipe that had pineapple AND coconut, for a Hawaiian-themed potluck at work, and this was the only one I could find. I'm glad I made it, because the cookies are VERY VERY yummy!! It was pretty easy to make and they're very soft. I did use 2/3 cup butter instead of shortening, because shortening has trans fat, but that was the only alteration I made. The pineapple flavor is kind of subtle, because the crushed pineapple is drained so there's just little bits throughout the cookie. It would be interesting if the recipe could be modified to include pineapple juice, so that the whole cookie tastes like pineapple, but it's still very good the way it is.

I live and work in Anchorage, Alaska. I teach, so most of my life is spent grading papers, but I cook whenever I can. I like experimenting with recipes from different world cuisines and, since I do live in Alaska, I cook a lot of fish.
