Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 batch of cookie dough (approximately 2 cups, homemade or store-bought)
Topping
- 1 cup pineapple pieces (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple: Drain the pineapple pieces well to avoid excess moisture which could affect the cookie texture. If using fresh pineapple, cut into small chunks or slices suitable to fit on cookies.
- Arrange Topping: Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the surface of the cookie dough. Then, gently press the pineapple pieces onto the dough, arranging them in a single layer to create an attractive topping.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cookie dough with pineapple topping on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cookie edges are golden and the pineapple caramelizes slightly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This rest helps the topping set and makes the cookies easier to handle.
Notes
- Use thick pineapple slices or chunks to prevent sogginess.
- Brown sugar caramelizes during baking to enhance the flavor.
- Adjust baking time if using thicker cookie dough.
- These cookies can be served warm or at room temperature.
- For a more tropical twist, add a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top before baking.
