gluten-free flour blend.

Baking Powder (½ tsp) – Helps the cookies rise slightly and stay soft.

Salt (¼ tsp) – Balances sweetness and enhances flavors.

Preheat the oven

to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done with an electric mixer or by hand using a whisk. Proper creaming ensures a soft and tender cookie.

Add the egg

and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. The batter should become smooth and slightly glossy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to tough cookies.

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. This will create the caramelized topping for each cookie.

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow room for cookie spreading.

2. Prepare the Topping

Place a small piece of pineapple (or pineapple tidbits) on top of each brown sugar base.

Add a maraschino cherry half in the center of the pineapple for a classic touch.

Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten it slightly with your hands, and place it over the pineapple and brown sugar mixture. Gently press the dough to cover the fruit, ensuring the edges seal the topping.

3. Assemble the Cookies

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden around the edges.

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack. Allowing them to cool helps set the caramelized topping.

4. Bake the Cookies

Once completely cooled, flip the cookies upside-down to reveal the beautiful pineapple-cherry topping. Enjoy as a snack, dessert, or party treat!
