Would make this again.
These cookies are refreshing, because of the pineapple flavor in the cookie and the icing. I made them with fresh pineapple for the cookie and the icing. These are for anytime of the year.

Will make these again and not just at Christmas. I got about 3 dozen from the recipe. They needed the sweetness in the glaze. Cookies held up well to being frozen and actually tasted better the second day.

Very Good! A light, tender cookie. Just as good the next day. The recipe doubles well. A big hit with everyone.

These pineapple cookies were delicious. I love the flavor that is carried through in the icing as well. These are great if you love a very soft, delicate cookie. I would have liked a little more texture in them, though. Overall, easy to make and yummy!
