Ingredients
- 2 (20-ounce can) pineapple rings drained
- 9 Maraschino cherries halved
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Drain the juice from 2 (20-ounce can) pineapple rings. Use paper towels or a clean dish towel to pat them dry. Place the rings, evenly spaced, on the prepared baking sheets, about 9 per pan. Place a halved maraschino cherry in the center. Sprinkle each pineapple ring with a small spoonful of brown sugar, about 1 1/2 teaspoons per ring.
- Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, until the brown sugar has candied onto the pineapple. Remove trays from oven and let cool while you make the cookie dough.
- In a large mixing bowl use a hand mixer to beat 1 cup unsalted butter (softened), 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. It should become pale, fluffy, and visibly lighter in color.
- Add 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extractBeat on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.
- Add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until just combined.
- Take about 2 tablespoons of the dough and form a ball, and set it on top of each candied pineapple ring. Gently press the dough to flatten it just enough to adhere it to the ring.
- Return the pans to the oven to bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, until the tops of the cookies are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes before serving warm. Alternatively, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- The fruit means these cookies require refrigeration. Store these cookies in an airtight container or plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
