Pineapple Macaroons Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Stir together flour, brown sugar and salt; then cut in the butter - either with two knives or a pastry cutter. (Don't let the butter get too warm.).
• Once the flour/butter mixture gets crumbly, pour it into a 9" x 13" pan and press it inches.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then remove pan from oven and let it cool some.
• In the mean time, combine 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch in a pot.
• Add pineapple and egg yolks and stir.
• Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture gets thick and boils slightly.
• Remove from heat and spread on top of the baked crust.
• If you're a multi-tasker, you may be able to work on the coconut mixture in between stirs of the pineapple sauce. Otherwise, do it after.
• In a medium bowl, combine coconut, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt.
• Add the egg whites, egg and vanilla extract. (You could substitute almond extract).
• Drop dallops of the coconut mixture and spread evenly over the pineapple mixture.
• Return pan to the oven and bake an additional 30 to 35 minutes, or until lightly browned on top of coconut.
• Cool in pan, then cut into bars. (I couldn't wait, and ended up burning my mouth on the pineapple mixture.).
• Store in a covered container.

Steps:

• Soften the sherbet and combine with the cake mix and the extract.
• Stir in the coconut.
• Drop by cookie scoop onto greased baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with coconut, if desired.
• Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes.
