Tried 'n' True: Try pineapple cookies as extra Thanksgiving treat

By Jackie Lindley
Special to the Tribune-Star

Ruth Baker of Marshall, Ill., has been sending me recipes for some months now. I have a lot of rhubarb recipes from her but this last time, she sent several pineapple recipes, among others.

These pineapple cookies sounded so good I tried them. They are to die for; they are so good. I also thought these would be good for Thanksgiving.

Ruth is a very interesting woman with a lot of different recipes. I’ll share others every once in a while. Thanks Ruth.

Pineapple Cookies

1 cup margarine

1 cup sugar

1 cup crushed pineapple, plus juice

4 cups flour, sifted

1/2 teaspoon soda

1 cup light brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup chopped nuts

• Cream margarine and sugar.

• Add eggs and beat well.

• Add pineapple with juice and vanilla.

• Sift dry ingredients together.

• Add dry ingredients to mixture above.

• Add nuts.

• Drop by teaspoonful on greased cookie sheets.

• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.
