I found this recipe, cut from a newspaper, in my stash and decided to try it, since I had a bag of dried pineapple. One note, the dough was quite wet and I had knead in another 1/4 cup or so of flour.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried pineapple, chopped shopping list
- 2 cups hot water shopping list
- 2 cups all purpose flour shopping list
- 1-1/4 tsp. baking powder shopping list
- 3/4 tsp. cinnamon shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. salt shopping list
- 2 large eggs shopping list
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup canola oil shopping list
- 2 tblsp. grated orange peel shopping list
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract shopping list
- 1 cup chopped walnuts shopping list
- 1 tblsp. pearl or granulated sugar, optional shopping list
How to make it
- Place the dried pineapple in a small bowl. Pour in the hot water and let stand to soak.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat the eggs and 3/4 sugar in a large bowl, with a mixer or whisk, until light and fluffy. Add the oil, beating until smooth.
- Beat in the orange peel, vanilla and almond extract.
- Drain the pineapple completely and stir in. Stir in the walnuts.
- Stir in the flour mixture until completely combined.
- Cover the bowl and chill at least one hour.
- Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Knead the chilled dough on a floured board until smooth. Shape into a 12x4 inch log, and place it on a greased baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with sugar, if using. Press down lightly to flatten just a little.
- Bake until the edges just begin to brown, about 25 minutes.
- Remove baking sheet from oven, cool on a wire rack about 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven to 300 degrees.
- Transfer the log to a cutting boad. With a serrated knife, cut diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Return to baking sheet, cut side up.
- Bake until the cookies are brown, and feel dry, about 30 minutes. (it took closer to an hour for me)
- Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
