Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

1/2 cup maraschino cherries, well-drained (for decoration)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

      Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the crushed pineapple gently.

            Using a tablespoon, drop rounded scoops of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

              Press a half slice of maraschino cherry in the center of each cookie for decoration, and sprinkle a tiny bit of brown sugar on top for a caramelized finish.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

                  Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy your Pineapple Upside-Down Cookies as a unique twist on a classic treat!
