GLAZE: 6 tbsp. butter or margarine, 1½ c. powdered sugar, unsifted, 3 to 4 tbsp. pineapple juice Thinly sliced candied pineapple, for garnish (optional)

Ingredients

• 2/3 c. butter or margarine
• 1 1/4 c. brown sugar, well packed
• 2 eggs
• 1 can (15 1/4 oz.) crushed pineapple, well drained, reserve juice
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 c. chopped nuts

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter with brown sugar; add eggs and beat until fluffy. Stir in the pineapple, soda, baking powder, vanilla and salt; mix well. Add the flour and blend well. Stir in nuts until evenly blended. Drop by small spoonfuls on greased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 10 to 12 min. or until golden around the edges. Meanwhile, brown the butter for the glaze in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the powdered sugar and enough of the reserved pineapple juice to make a smooth, drizzleable glaze. Cool cookies. Use a spoon to spread on the glaze. Top with thin slices of candied pineapple.
