Perfect Pineapple Cookies
It's hard to eat just one. If you like pineapple upside-down cake, you'll love these cookies.

1/4

 cup dark brown sugar

1

 (18.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix (I use Betty Crocker Super Moist.) Do not make as directed on box.
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in natural juices, drained, 1 cup juice discarded 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 egg whites    

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line 4 cookie sheets with foil and spray with nonfat cooking spray.
With a spatula or spoon, mix together the brown sugar, pineapple, and egg whites until well mixed and the sugar is dissolved.
Add the cake mix and graham cracker crumbs. Continue stirring until well mixed.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets. Dip your fingers in water and press the tops of the cookies down to 1 1/2-inch circles.
Bake at 350 degrees for 11 to 12 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Yield: 7 dozen cookies
