Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture until just combined.
Assembly
- Spread a thin layer of brown sugar on the bottom of each cookie.
- Place a pineapple ring on top and a cherry in the center if desired.
- Use a cookie scoop to place mounds of dough on top of the pineapple rings, gently pressing down.
Baking
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden and the dough is set.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute the butter with a plant-based butter alternative. If you're gluten-sensitive, try using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Let your cookies cool properly to avoid them falling apart. Experiment with flavors by adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a warm spice.
