How to Make Pineapple Cookies With Browned Butter Frosting
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) Crisco and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy (about 30 seconds).
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition (about 1 minute).
- Add 1 cup crushed pineapple (well-drained) and beat for 15 seconds to combine. Turn off mixer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until just combined.
- Gently fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Prepare the frosting:** In a small saucepan, melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until butter turns a light brown color and has a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to burn it.
- Remove from heat. Immediately stir in 2 tablespoons pineapple juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Sift 2 cups powdered sugar into a large bowl. Gradually pour the browned butter mixture into the powdered sugar, whisking constantly until smooth and creamy.
- Once cookies are completely cool, frost generously.
