I didn't follow the recipe based on availability of ingredients on hand, so my review isn't exactly fair to the recipe submitter, sorry! I added almost one cup of pineapple, added half a cup of oats, used butter, and only used white sugar. It needed almost 13 minutes to be done. For the glaze, I used only pineapple juice and powdered sugar, as suggested by another reviewer. The taste of the pineapple didn't really come through strongly enough. It was a nice and simple recipe though, thanks for sharing! Will try again using the ingredients stated in the recipe.

Great easy recipe to make. I added some lemon juice to the glaze and next time I will use macadamia nuts instead of walnuts.

Too cakey, maybe with more butter?

LOVE these! I used Splenda (regular measure for brown and half of white) AND apple sauce in place of shortening (need to add a bit of flour/oatmeal to suck up some moisture because I use 8oz pineapple too). I also used coconut extract in place of vanilla and took the suggestion about using pineapple juice in frosting.

they came out nice. What I did different however was add the orange juice and zest to the mix and then added 1/4 cup extra flour to make up for the orange juice I put in. Then for the topping I used orange juice, powder sugar and Pinapple extract from watkins, and a little zest from the orange. much better flavor, other wise they are kind of bland.

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.

Made these again (first time was a bust b/c of old baking soda) and they came out great. Interesting side note: my stoneware pan did not do these cookies any favors. The ones cooked on a regular metal pan lined with silpat came out much better - rose higher and cooked just right.
