Day 21: Pineapple Delights

I made these last year and had to make a second batch to give out, cause the first never made it out the door! They are sooooo good.

Pineapple Delights


Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries

Directions

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the pineapple, walnuts and cherries.
