Pineapple Shortbread Cookies
Source of Recipe
The Hali'imaile General Store Cookbook
List of Ingredients
- raw sugar, for sprinkling
- Ground nutmeg, for sprinkling
- 3 tablespoons apricot-pineapple preserves
- 1 recipe sweet dough
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Using a pineapple-shaped cookie cutter, or any other cookie cutter shape. These are sandwich cookies, so you'll need 2 pineapples for each completed cookie.
- Divide the cutouts evenly between 2 ungreased baking sheets. On the sheet of cutouts for the cookie tops, score the dough in a crisscross pattern, using the back of a small paring knife. Brush with water and sprinkle with the raw sugar and nutmeg.
- Place both baking sheets in the oven on 2 separate racks and bake for 10 minutes. Switch the trays between the racks, rotate them, and bake for another 10 minutes, until all the cookies are a light golden brown. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Spread the preserves on the bottom cookies and close with the tops. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
