I love pineapple cookies! It does not matter it it is pineapple roll or tart, as they taste as good to me! The best pineapple rolls I have eaten before are made my Jolene. I love the crumbly crust and she always make it during CNY. It was long ago since I last tasted her pineapple rolls. I wanted to learn to make this dessert eons ago, but well, I was lazy, until yesterday! 
For cake and cookies, I usually always just get ones which are pre-mixed and just require you to add oil, water and egg. Fool-proof. I bought my first kitchen scale, just for these pineapple cookies! I got the recipe here.
It was tedious but worth it! Each piece of cookie is hard work and I actually felt a teeny weeny bit of reluctance to eat too many cookies as I want to be able to enjoy them as long as possible. I have never experienced this feeling before! Before this, if I have a box of pineapple rolls/tarts, I can finish them in one day. Self-control? You must be kidding!
It was a very long process, as I made the dough 3 times! For the 1st batch, only 1/6 of pineapple jam is used along with the dough. The 2nd batch used up the butter and flour in my pantry, and I have to buy butter and flour for the 3rd batch.. This took all day!
No quality control. Inconsistent sizes. The 1st were
too big ( the two rolls in the middle ). I learned from my mistake
and the 2nd batch is bite size.
The dough for the 3rd batch was too crumbly
and I ended up making tarts instead

Meet the new addition to the family, Zanny zinnia! Hopefully Zanny will bloom into a beautiful flower.

The background is the curtain I just bought to divide my hall and dining area. I looked high and low for the rod because I do not want to make a hole on the wall. We use double sided tape and a lot of cellophane tape to make the rod stay in place. We had to get a not-too-heavy curtain, thus this sheer curtain.
Zanny beside Mr. Bamboo. Mr. Bamboo has blossom into
a handsome one. Nurturing Mr. Bamboo is definitely fool-porof.
