Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

For Topping:

  • 1012 rings Canned Pineapple, well-drained and patted dry
  • to taste Additional Sugar for Sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking trays with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
  5. Form Cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking trays, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  6. Add Pineapple: Gently press a dried pineapple ring onto each mound of cookie dough, flattening slightly. Trim or halve the rings if necessary.
  7. Sprinkle Sugar: Sprinkle a bit of granulated sugar over the pineapple tops for a touch of sparkle and caramelization.
  8. Bake: Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges and set in the center.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow cookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
