    I decided to use fresh pineapple which I sliced extremely thin (just like crushed) and I used chopped pecans instead of walnuts. I think because the pineapple wasn't completely dry, it made the batter too runny and I knew before I made the first batch, that it wasn't going to work. The cookies came out like a thin cake - lol I added about 1/2 cup of flour and tried again and this time they retained shape better but they still spread out too far, so I ended up making the rest in a cupcake pan. The cake and frosting were delicious, but this recipe needs a little adjusting to get it right.
