Alabama49 - Sure, but I have to find it. It'll probably be over the weekend. On Fri/Sat we do farmers markets and I usually don't get back here for a couple days.
SunnyDawn - would you share your recipe?
Sure! 'll try to get to that this weekend. I'd love to see your family recipe too. Hopefully they are different and I can try two different kinds of pineapple cookies!
Here we go. This recipe originally came from a Betty Crocker cookbook Mom got in the early 60's.
Pineapple Cookies
1 cup soft shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 can (9 ounces) crushed pineapple with juice
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Mix shortening, sugar and egg well. Stir in pineapple. Blend flour, soda, salt and nutmeg; stir in. Mix in nuts. Chill one hour. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto a lightly grreased baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 400 degrees or until no imprint remains when touched lightly. Yield: 5 dozen.
We usually ice some of them with vanilla frosting, and leave some plain.
