Welcome to the day 2 of Cookie Week, hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Susan of The Girl In the Little Red Kitchen! We’ve teamed together with 10 other talented bloggers to bring you 5 fantastic days of cookie recipes to get you in to the holiday spirits. If you love to pin make sure to check out our #CookieWeek Pinterest board full of all the cookie recipes you’ll see here this week!
I decided that I’d play Frankenwench in my kitchen today and whipped up a batch of Pineapple Cookies with Vanilla Rum Glaze for #CookieWeek. You know, I love lots of reasons to incorporate cocktails into my desserts and these cookies were complimented by the rum both in the glaze and in the cookie batter. Add to that a taste of the tropics with some crushed pineapple and you have a cakey type cookie that your guests will go “What IS that flavor?!” as they are reaching for another cookie.
The glaze can be a bit runny – but the first person that complains, send them my way – I’ll tell them that they are “rustic” because, quite frankly, the flavors totally outweigh the look of the glaze having a mind of it’s own and “exploring” the baking sheets. I can see that these cookies will be part of the holiday cookie swaps and if you want to add a bit of sparkle, feel free to add some sparkling sugar. What I do know is that one bite of these will have you thinking of swaying palm trees, waves hitting the shore and you having a cocktail in one hand, this cookie in the other.
