Description

Delightful cookies that combine the flavors of classic pineapple upside-down cake with soft sugar cookies, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can canned pineapple rings (well-drained)
  • 2 tablespoons additional sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, combining until well integrated.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Arrange the pineapple rings on the baking sheet and sprinkle additional sugar over them.
  7. Scoop dough onto the pineapple rings, covering them completely.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden.
  9. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes before flipping them over to let the pineapple topping shine.

Notes

Refrigerate your dough for about 30 minutes before baking for a chewier texture. Substitute fresh pineapple for canned if desired.
