Would make this again.
I am almost 50 years old and my grandmother that passed away 10 years ago made these cookies. My family just loved them but no one had the recipe. I found it on this web sight and am thrilled to say the least that we will once again have pinapple cookies to enjoy.

Would not make this again.
These are not traditional cookies, but more like biscuits. Not what I was expecting, but pretty good anyway. I reduced the baking temperature to about 325.
