Pineapple Chocolate Chip Cookies

I put a photo of these cookies I made on Facebook and all of a sudden several friends wanted the recipe.

So....here it is! One of my favorite cookie recipes......and it's a way to get my daughters to eat pineapple!

PINEAPPLE CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIES

2/3 c. shortening

1/2 c. sugar

1 c. brown sugar

2 eggs

2/3 c. crushed pineapple

1 tsp vanilla

dash of salt

3 1/4 c. flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 pkg  semi-sweet chocolate chips

(or just buy a 6 oz bag)

• Blend the first 4 ingredients together, stirring well.
• Add in the pineapple and vanilla and stir until thoroughly mixed.
• Add in the dry ingredients and stir well.
• Drop by spoonfuls onto lightly sprayed (i use baking spray) cookie sheets.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
• Let cool for about 3-5 minutes and transfer to air-tight container.

TIPS

You can add white chocolate chips in place of the semi-sweet chips.

For less sugar, substitute natural applesauce (unsweetened) in place of the white sugar.

This recipe makes more than 2 dozen cookies so we freeze several in a baggie for another time. These cookies do well for 1-3 months in the freezer.

ENJOY!!
