Instructions:
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2:
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3:
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 5:
Roll dough into balls (about 1½ tablespoons each) and slightly flatten. Place on baking sheets, leaving space between each.
Step 6:
Top each dough disk with a pineapple ring, gently pressing it down.
Step 7:
Sprinkle a little sugar on top of the pineapple for extra sparkle and caramelization.
Step 8:
Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until edges are golden and the cookies are set.
Step 9:
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
📝 Tips:
For crispier edges, bake 1–2 minutes longer.
Use maraschino cherries in the center of each ring for a classic upside-down cake look.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.".
