How to Make Pineapple Upside Down Sugar Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture gradually, mixing until just combined.
- Chop the drained pineapple slices into smaller pieces if desired.
- Mix brown sugar with a bit of pineapple juice in a small bowl to form a paste.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart.
- Press a piece of pineapple into the center of each cookie, then drizzle the brown sugar mixture over the pineapple.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature.
