Preheat oven to 350. In a medium sixed bowl, combine
flour, salt, soda and powder. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar
and shortening until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs, pineapple and vanilla;
beat thoroughly. Gradually add the flour mixture by teaspoonfuls onto greased
cookie sheet. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of coconut. Bake 12 to 15
minutes.
NOTE: I like to substitute rum extract for the vanilla for a real tropical
favorite!!! Contributed by Tawnya Hendrix, firewoman18@yahoo.com
