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

Was excited to make these cookies for Christmas. Maybe substitute brown sugar with regular sugar, as they just didn't go over well. No-one ate them. You can taste the pineapple, but was just not a big hit like some of the others on this site. two stars

I grew up on these cookies. We sprinkled nutmeg and sugar over the cookies before baking instead of icing them. five stars

Taking into account some of the reviews, I added orange flavoring, w/the vanilla, and also added coconut to the batter. The orange flavoring and coconut truly added to the recipe. five stars

These cookies do not taste much like pineapple ones, I even added more pineapple to see if would help two stars
