Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or grease them.
  2. Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  5. Roll about 1½ tablespoons of dough into balls, flatten them slightly, and place them on the baking sheet.
  6. Top each cookie disk with a pineapple ring and gently press down to adhere.
  7. Lightly sprinkle additional sugar on top of each pineapple ring.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges turn golden brown; cool on a wire rack.
