Step 1 

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until frothy with a medium-speed electric mixer. After adding each egg, stir well.  

Step 2

Lower the mixer speed. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until incorporated or a few flour streaks remain.  

Step 3

Mix in crushed pineapple and 1/4–1/2 teaspoon of drained pineapple juice. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

Heat the oven to 350°F. Cover baking sheets with parchment or silicone. Drop tablespoonfuls of cookies onto prepared pans, leaving 2 inches between them.   

Step 5

One pan at a time, bake the cookies for 12–15 minutes until the sides are gently browned and the tops are firm. Store leftover dough in the fridge between batches.  

Step 6

Cool cookies on pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Then remove the cookies from the pan to cool on a rack.  

Step 7

Mix confectioners' sugar and 3 tablespoons pineapple juice. Increase juice until the glaze is thick but pourable. Glaze the cookies and let them set before serving.
