Pineapple Cookies

This recipe came from Gramp’s mother, Grace Soule.  She packed these in his lunch when he commuted to the University of Maine in the fall and spring of 1956-7.  He lived at home right after he got out of the Seebees.  I often shared his lunch so we could spend more time together between classes.  I loved these cookies! – Jeanne
