Ingredients
Scale
½ cup Unsalted Butter, softened
¾ cup Granulated Sugar
1 Large Egg
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 ¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
½ tsp Baking Powder
¼ tsp Salt
½ cup Brown Sugar
2 tbsp Melted Butter
1 small can Pineapple Rings, cut into smaller pieces
Maraschino Cherries, halved
Instructions
Prepping the Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and well blended. Spread this mixture evenly in the bottom of your greased baking sheet.
Arranging the Fruit: Place the pineapple pieces and halved maraschino cherries over the brown sugar mixture.
Creaming the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Incorporating the Egg and Vanilla: Add in the egg (or flax egg) and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Combining the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Assembling the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place dollops of cookie dough on top of the pineapple and cherry layer, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Cooling Down: Let your cookies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Serving and Enjoying: Invert the pan onto a plate so the pineapple and cherry topping is now on top. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
