Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or grease them with butter.
  2. Cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, blending well for another minute until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Shape dough into 1½ tablespoon-sized balls, flatten slightly, and place them on prepared baking sheets.
  6. Press a pineapple ring onto each cookie disk and sprinkle with additional sugar.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are golden brown. Monitor closely to prevent overbaking.
  8. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
