Kathy's Pineapple-Coconut Oatmeal Cookies image

I took a basic oatmeal cookie recipe and just changed a few things around. Dried pineapple works best. I wanted a cookie without chocolate, but I'm thinking of adding some chips to the next batch - these were a huge hit with my coworkers!!!!

PINEAPPLE-COCONUT DROP (SOFT) COOKIES



Pineapple-Coconut Drop (soft) Cookies image

These cookies were always in great demand at our house whenever I made them. Our 5 children loved the pineapple-coconut combination. The only problem was, I couldn't keep them on hand very long. I found this recipe in an Albuquerque newspaper sometime in the '60's and have made them many times since then.
