Hawaiian Luau Cookies

These cookies will dry out if not eaten in 2 days. You can freeze them after baking and pull out what you will eat that day.

2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup shortening
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 egg
3/4 cup well-drained, crushed pineapple
Flaked coconut

  1. Mix together first 3 ingredients and set aside:
  2. Cream shortening, sugar, vanilla and almond. Beat in egg until mixture is fluffy. Blend in pineapple.
  3. Stir in flour mixture (yes, the dough may still seem quite "wet").
