PINEAPPLE DROP COOKIES



Pineapple Drop Cookies image

We love pineapple at our house. This unique cookie recipe was found in a family members cookbook collection and I snagged it. I make them at Christmas time for gifts but would be great in the summer too! They are a nice change from the usual flavors and turn out so light and fluffy like soft cake. Enjoy!

GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED FILLED COOKIES



Grandma's Old Fashioned Filled Cookies image

Grandma made these cookies but Grandpa Carr handed them out to kids. He had a rule: If 2 cookies stick together you get them both. I usually make these with cherry or apricot filling now, but Grandma almost always used raisins.
