I advise that you either make these treats in small batches only or have some other use in mind. Since crisp topping is supposed to be crunchy anyway, I opted to crumble up my dried-out cookies, sprinkle them over a pan of juicy seasonal fruit, and bake. Dessert doesn't get any easier or tastier than this.
Pineapple Crisp
Ingredients
1 1/2 pineapples, cut into chunks
1 Tbsp. flour
8-10 lentil cookies, crumbled
Directions
Heat the oven to 375.
Mix the pineapple chunks and flour. Put them in a 10" pie pan (bet you're jealous of the adorable one that my mom got me for Christmas).
Bake the pineapple chunks on their own for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the cookie topping over. Bake until sufficiently browned on top, about 20-30 minutes more. If the topping browns too much before the pineapple is soft, cover with a sheet of foil for the remainder of the cooking time. Serves 6.
I attempted to make pineapple whipped cream, but it came out tasting an awful lot like regular whipped cream. In case you want to play around with the recipe, here it is. By all means, please contact me if you find a better way!
Pineapple Whipped Cream
Ingredients
3/4 c. heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp. pineapple juice
1 Tbsp. sugar
Directions
Whisk or beat all ingredients with an electric mixer until stiff. Makes about 1 1/2 c. whipped cream.
Beat the eggs. Whip the cream. Show no mercy.

That's what we get for being 70s ex-hippie types, we'll try anything new, once! Great recovery idea.
extra points for making an alternative recipe with them. this still looks yummy!
I love that you didn't throw them out and found another way to use them. I can't tell you how many recipes I've had to make into something else. The crumble looks delish!
Great solution!
Thanks for the follow-up! This crisp is a great back-up plan although a giant dollop of whipped on its own would probably soften the cookies up well enough. 8-)
Excellent example of quick thinking in the kitchen! Cooking and baking should be put on CV's under "problem solving skills," because there's always something needing to be figured out when it comes to meals!
Great idea for your leftover cookies! Sometimes the best recipes arise from a mistake.
Good alternative!
You know I've resolved never to post my first try till I'm sure of it, because I've blundered too many times. I like the way you found a delicious way out!
people have left over cookies? I have 5 kids--we never have any extra cookies! Laundry--yes--cookies--no.
Awww, bummer about the lentil cookies! I still commend your inventiveness!
Saved from the brink. My solution -- eat in less than 48 hours. Not difficult to do in our dessert-obsessed house!
Nice save. It looks delicious. I know what I am making for desert tomorrow night.
Way to get creative! Maybe boil down the pineapple juice to get it more concentrated for the whipped cream?
@Stacy... Thanks, great suggestion!
Excellent use for your leftover cookies! The pineapple crisp sounds delicious!
