Many of my family recipes are from Mr. C's family. His dad was raised West Virginia and his mom grew up in Ohio. Momma's (my mother-in-law) recipes are taste treats from the south, New England and the mid-west. Any recipe her from is considered a 'family' recipe. I never know where they originated. These pineapple cookies are moist and not too sweet. I made them for a couple of recital receptions last year, and people keep asking for more.
