 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
   16      oz            unsweetened pineapple slices
      1/4  cup           water
    1      cup           all purpose flour
      1/4  cup           granulated sugar
    1                    egg
      1/8  cup           margarine
      1/4  cup           corn syrup
      1/2  Tsp           baking powder
    3      Tablespoons   cocoa powder
 
  Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.  Strain the pineapple juice from the
  slices, and save.  Cut the pineapple slices into quarters.  In a large
  bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar.  Add pineapple juice and egg,
  and mix until you get a smooth batter.  Slowly add the cocoa powder and
  corn syrup mixing through.  Add margarine and beat until mixed through
  the entire batter.
 
  On a greased cookie sheet, drop mixture into balls approximately 1/2 inch
  apart.  Top each cookie with one pineapple quarter, pressing firmly into
  place.  Bake for 15 minutes.
 
  This is a recipe that I created a few months ago that I think should go
  over well in the newsgroup.  The reason for creating it is that living
  with a diabetic, I've had to often modify my recipes so that he doesn't
  have too much of a sugar intake.
