Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices, drained and cut into small pieces
- Maraschino cherries, halved
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a muffin tin.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of this mixture into each muffin cup.
- Place a few small pieces of pineapple on top of the brown sugar mixture. Then press half of a maraschino cherry in the center of each one.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients while mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Take about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough and press it over the topping in each muffin cup.
- Bake your cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden.
- After baking, let the cookies cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before carefully flipping the tin over onto a parchment-lined surface.
