I wanted to see how these would turn out before using the advice of other reviewers, and yes, next time I WILL heed their advice and add more pineapple juice and some quick-cooking oats. I still like how the original recipe came out, a great change from your ordinary sugar cookie.

The cookie had great texture and fairly good taste. There seemed to have a slight taste of the baking soda. However, when you use a glaze you don't notice the hint of baking soda taste. I actually used 1 cup of pineapple/juice and added cinnamon which also helped with the taste. For the glaze, I used 3T pineapple juice and 1 1/2C of powdered sugar. You could half it if you don't want it on all cookies.

So yummy! I agree that they needed more pineapple flavor, so I added an extra 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup of flour to make up for the extra moister. I also added an extra 1/4 cup brown sugar. Instead of icing on top I put a marachino cherry in the middle before baking. They look and taste supper yummy! Thanks for the great recipe! Ok, new addition! Instead of the extra flour I added oats to make up for the extra moisture! It was delicious! So add an extra 1/2 cup pineapple and 1/2 cup oats and believe me you'll love them!!

I just tried this recipe. The cookies have very little taste you would not know they had pineapple in them. I would not make them again.

I must have done something wrong. They didn't rise. But they tasted good. I'll have to try again to see what I did wrong.

WOW, probably the best cookie I've ever had. Delicious orange flavor that one usually can't get in a cookie.

these were great. however, the icing needs the orange zest (i did not have it) :) also, for half of the dough i mixed in a few spoons of betty crocker instant blueberry muffin batter, and it was SO GOOD, i mean it was freakin' mmmmmm. :) for the blueberry/pineapple ones they were a touch better w/out the icing :) let me know if anyone else likes it. peace :)

These are a great cookie, but you have to be in the right mood. They are very cake-y, which can be great, as long as that's what you're expecting. I served these with homemade bluberry ice cream, and they were delicious. Because the ice cream is sweet, I didn't ice most of the cookies, and they are like having cupcakes! I used 8 oz canned crushed pineapple instead of just half a cup, and substituted macademia nuts instead of walnuts.

These were terrific! The cookie is very light, soft, and not overly sweet. They are great without the glaze as well. Having only pineapple chunks, I put some of the pineapple with a little of the juice in the blender and made a rough puree to use instead of the crushed pineapple. I also substituted pineapple juice for the orange juice and cut the orange zest to 1 tsp., which was more than ample. That kept more of the pineapple flavor. After spreading the glaze on, I dipped some in sweetened flaked coconut which added an extra kick of flavor and made for an elegant presentation. These met with great reviews and were hard to stop eating! I'll probably try with raspberry or peach puree to see what happens. Thanks for the recipe!

Amazing cookies. Soft, with a clean citrus flavor. I would definitely use more pineapple next time...the glaze, with the orange zest, is the dominant flavor...and that's not a bad thing at all! Wonderful cookies. Thank you, LeeAnn!
