My dad’s favorite, the Glazed Pineapple Cookies come from this cookbook.
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED DECEMBER 20, 2011
Today’s recipe is the last one for the Your Tray or Mine series!
It is my dad’s favorite cookie tray recipe as well as one of my mom’s favorites. He only gets these cookies once a year and he looks forward to them all year long. They are glazed pineapple cookies, such a pretty cookie on our tray, and not a stitch of chocolate on them!
My mom and I split the list of recipes in half each year, each making about 6 different kinds, and merging them on our trays. This one is one of the ones on her to do list each year. This recipe comes from her McCall’s Cookie Collection Cookbook. It looks very similar to a glazed egg biscuit, but it’s a completely different cookie.
Glazed Pineapple cookies….my dad’s fave.
