Original Recipe Yield 2 dozen

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Cream shortening with sugar and well-beaten eggs. Stir in milk and vanilla. Sift flour with baking powder and mix into egg mixture. Chill dough until firm.
To Make Filling: Mix cornstarch and 3/4 cup sugar, add pineapple and lemon juice. Bring to a boiling point and boil gently until the consistency of jam, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Cool before using.
Roll dough out thin and cut with cookie cutter or small glass. Put spoonful of filling on half the rounds, cover with others and seal edges with a fork. Sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 minutes or so.
