Pineapple Brown Sugar Cookies

These are OUTSTANDING cookies! They are very simple to prepare and look so beautiful and unusual. The SOLO brand pineapple filling is not available where I live, so I used pineapple preserves, as the recipe poster suggests in her description. The combination of the pineapple preserves and the sprinkling of coconut on top combined with the very rich,brown sugar cookie base is a great taste combo. I am putting this recipe on my permament holiday cookie baking list (I only add one or two a year at most - these are that special).

I was doing experimental trial christmas cookie runs last night, and these were by far the winner. I didn't have food coloring, so every cookie was 'just' pineapple colored, but who cared after you bit into it?? I also used regular pineapple preserves (smuckers I think), and they were just incredible floating on an almost shortbread-base cookie, wreathed in a soft *and* crunchy coconut cloud. These too are going into permanent holiday rotation. Thanks for a keeper!!

These are definitely a great holiday cookie. I used pineapple preserves and recommended food colorings. They came out great! The coconut is definitely a nice touch. It will be added to my holiday recipe list!

This is a great recipe. Very pretty cookies-they look nice on a holiday tray.

Really good, almost shortbread tasting cookie. I didn't have any pineapple filling so I used Lemon and skipped the coloring. My dh loved them. I liked the idea of low carbs too. Thank you for a nice, lighter recipe.
