Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Can be substituted with salted butter, reduce extra salt slightly.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Can be reduced by 2-3 tablespoons.
  • 1 large Egg A flax egg can be used as a vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Essential for flavor.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Can substitute with gluten-free 1:1 blend.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Essential for rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Can be omitted when using salted butter.
For the Topping
  • 1 can Canned Pineapple Rings Pat dry if using fresh.
  • 2 tablespoons Additional Sugar for Sprinkling Brown sugar adds richer flavor.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • hand mixer or stand mixer
  • parchment paper
  • Baking sheets
  • whisk

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add one egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until combined, 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix with the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Roll dough into balls (1½ tablespoons size) and flatten slightly. Place on prepared sheets with space between.
  6. Top each cookie with a pineapple ring and sprinkle sugar over each ring.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden; they should still be soft in the center.
  8. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
