Would not make this again.
These cookies come out moist and are good. But you just can't taste the pineapple, I was dissappointed. And I think that white sugar instead of brown sugar would help the flavor. Some Pineapple extract would help alot! two stars

I am a 48 year old Mother and Grandmother. For many years my own Grandmother made these cookies. My family loved them. I am glad to have found the recipe. For years no one in our family knew how to make them. They are great and we think of Grandma every time we have them. They are a by far a "5" five stars
