I probably didn 't drain the pineapple enough and so got a more cake-like cookie. I didn't feel like adding the raisins and added dried cranberries instead. I substituted about 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour for some of the all-purpose flour. We really liked the cookie, probably not as much if it had been a more chewy cookie, but as I mentioned that was probably my fault. I'll drain the pineapple more next time.

Good tasting cookies, very easy to make. I just added 1/2 tsp baking powder and baking soda and dropped by teaspoons onto my cookie sheets. Didn't spread, weren't crumbly and perfectly browned on the top and bottom for the 10 minute cook time. Big hit!

The batter looked great, tasted yummy, and I was psyched to get them in the oven. But there my cookies spread out and burned on the edges. Bigger spoonfuls, smaller spoonfuls, didn't seem to matter. I'm guessing this is what people meant by "heavy" which is too bad. Crumbly too. Barely 1 out 3 made it in one piece from the cooling rack. Sweet and pineapplely but not worth repeating.

My dough came out crumbly, so I added a touch of milk and a bit more pineapple juice to get it to a doughy consistency. The cookies came out very cake-like and were not sweet enough. Will not make again.

This recipe was a hit with my husband ... and he's VERY picky! I did add the Nutmeg and Walnuts (using walnut pieces), then embellished the cookies by cutting Marachino Cherries in half and pressing them into the tops before baking. I do not know why everyone is saying that the dough was "heavy" and the cookies still "doughy." Ten (10) minutes was the perfect time for these delicious cookies, and the "heavy" dough made them easier to drop by spoonfuls onto the baking sheets. I'm an avid baker and cook, and this recipe will remain in my Holidays recipes and used for a long time to come. Good one, Becky! Thanks!

the cookies baked for about twenty minutes and the middle still was gummy. The top and bottoms were burning so i just threw away the whole batch.

I really liked these cookies, but I had to cook them for almost 15 minutes to get them done in the middle (or maybe I just made too big of ones!). They were very good though, I will definitely make them again.

This is a very heavy cookie. I wonder if the ingredients list was lacking a leavening ingredient. Did not brown very well during baking. Pleasant taste.
