These have been my husband's family favorite since at least the 1950's. I received the recipe from my late mother-in-law in 1970, and make them every Christmas. They are a special taste that you either love or dislike. I say that you need to be a genetic member of his family to love them!

Very tasty little gems. Mine did not spread out much but I did not sift the flour so maybe that made the difference.

These cookies very very good! Nice and mild with just the right amount of pineapple. I only made one small adjustment-- I added more raisins as they seems to enhance the flavor. Also, becareful when spooning these on to a cookies sheet-- they spread way out when cooking! Made for Recipe Swap #14.
