Keepsake Cookies
Prep time:
20 minutesCooking time:
35 minutes“For a super way to save money, purchase the grocery store's brand of canned pineapple. It is often about half the price of the nationally advertised brands while still just as tasty.”
Ingredients
Serves 24
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, reserve 2 teaspoons juice for frosting
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a medium baking pan. Combine flour, sugar, eggs, undrained pineapple, baking powder and vanilla in a large bowl; mix well.
2
Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cake cool about 20 minutes before frosting.

Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, butter, pineapple juice and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer set at medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

For neat slices when cutting the bars, dip the knife in hot water, then wipe clean between each cut.
