Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Crushed pineapple (drained) | 8-3/4 or 9 ounces (3/4 cup + 3 tbsp) |
| Butter (at room temperature) | 1/2 cup (1 stick) |
| Light brown sugar (packed) | 1 cup |
| Egg | 1 |
| Flour | 2 cups |
| Baking powder | 2 teaspoons |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Butterscotch bits | 6 ounce package (1 cup) |
| Chopped walnuts | 1/2 cup |
| Maraschino cherries (cut in half for decoration) | As needed |
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare your baking sheets by greasing them or lining them with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter and the packed light brown sugar until smooth.
- Add Egg and Pineapple Juice: Add the egg to the mixture and pour in the pineapple juice. Beat everything together until there are no large lumps present.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the sifted dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet batter. Slowly stir until all the dry ingredients are mixed in.
- Add Mix-Ins: Dump in the crushed pineapple, butterscotch bits, and chopped walnuts. Stir them into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Form Cookies: Using an “eating” teaspoon, measure out rounded spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
- Add Cherry: Press half of a maraschino cherry into the center of each cookie.
- Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Store: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on wire racks. Once cooled, store the cookies in a cookie jar with wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
