Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple, well-drained
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Pineapple juice (for optional glaze)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple gently, ensuring it is evenly distributed in the dough.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and pineapple juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies for added sweetness and flavor.
