This was my moms favorite book. I have made many of these cookies, but not this one. When I tried them I loved them. Thanks for the changes they really helped.

Hello guys! What a neat cookie! I think in some of these old receipes butter is better nowadays to shortening! Love seeing these old cookbooks! God Bless! Be well! Hugs!

I do believe my mother had that one, as the picture is so familiar! I know that she made the Betty Crocker pinwheels and the ones that look like Candy Canes. I LOVE pineapple and pineapple cookies. GOOD CALL on the smaller cookies! I was worried about the big scoop, and the high temps. I think recipes often call for too-high temps.
