Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in pineapple and butterscotch chips. Drop cookies by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

"Very very tasty! We even screwed it up horribly by not draining the pineapple, then added more flour to make it not as soupy, and in the end we don't know how much of which ingredients we added, and ..." See morethey were still very tasty! They are cakey, but if you keep them in a plastic bag they stay moist and wonderful for quite a while!"
