Ingredients

4 servings

2 teaspoons pineapple juice 1 cup white sugar, divided ½ cup unsalted butter, softened 1 large egg 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons crushed pineapple

Irresistible Ras Malai Mousse

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, combine the milk with 2 teaspoons of pineapple juice and let it sit for a bit. In a larger bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup of sugar until it's nice and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then mix in the pineapple juice and milk mixture. Next, add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, stirring just until everything comes together. Fold in 2 teaspoons of crushed pineapple. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them out a bit. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn a light golden brown. While the cookies are cooling, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons pineapple juice, and 1 tablespoon crushed pineapple to make a glaze. Brush or spoon this over the cooled cookies for a sweet finishing touch.
