Drop by teaspoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet 3 inches apart. Sprinkle with coconut. Bake in a 325 degrees F. (slow) oven about 20 minutes. Cookies are better stored for 24 hours. Yield: 4-1/2 dozen 2-1/2 inch diameter cookies. (01/24/2005)

Hi,Tuey. You are very welcome. This recipe is from a 15-page recipe pamphlet that I've had for a great many years (the printing date is not on it). The pamphlet is called "Fine Baking is Family Fun With Clabber Girl Baking Powder Featured Recipes". (01/24/2005)

For a heart healthy crunch, try adding almonds or macadamia nuts.

Thanks again!

Pineapple Cookies

I remember as a young adult (must have been at least 35 years ago) my mother and grandmother cooking pineapple cookies - they only used Clabber Girl baking powder; but, the cookies were rather flat, soft, almost white with some yellow tint. Not like the pictures of pineapple cookies that I see in some of these recipes. Did the cookies that you remember resemble my description? I've wanted to taste those cookies again for at least 35 years. (12/17/2009)
