Pineapple Coconut Drop Cookies
This recipe I clipped from an old Tampa Tribune newspaper under the "Lost and Found Recipes". It also sounded very much like a cookie I recall my Mom making for our family and my friends when we were young!
I wasn't disappointed and think you'll enjoy these moist and delicious drop cookies.
