I found this handy little kitchen tool the other day while shopping. It is quite handy, however it does not fit into all cans, including the crushed pineapple in the photo. The principal is that you insert the colander and press down to drain the juice. It works in most cans. One thing I discovered is that it holds 1/2 cup of the crushed pineapple so you can dump into whatever you are making without using a measuring cup.

This recipe is adapted from the no flour peanut butter cookie recipe. I added flour, salt and vanilla to it. These cookies are easy, fast and quick! They taste good too….

Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a medium bowl with a wooden spoon, beat peanut butter, salt and sugar. Add the egg, vanilla and mix. Stir in flour.

When well blended, drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet or spray with cooking spray to prevent from sticking.

Bake at 350°F degrees for about 12-15 minutes or until you see them golden brown at the bottom.

Makes about 12 - 16 cookies.

Tip: To make cookies of uniform size use a small scoop.
