This is a great recipe, I also added in about 1/2 cup crushed pineapple well drained in place of the dried, used 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg, I also increased the vanilla to 2 teaspoons and the sugar by 1/4 cup, didn't bother to frost, they were too good just on there own, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)
