Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • Zest from 1 large or 2 small lemons
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple with juice
  • 31/2 cups flour
  • Zest and juice of 1 medium orange
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg, oil, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the crushed pineapple with its juice, then add the remaining dry ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges begin to brown slightly. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
  7. While the cookies cool, whisk together the orange zest, powdered sugar, and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more orange juice until you reach the desired consistency.
  8. Once the cookies are completely cooled, dip the tops into the glaze and set them back on the wire rack to harden.
  9. Store the glazed cookies in an airtight container.
