1 ½ cups granulated sugar.
03 -
2 eggs.
04 -
2 tsp. vanilla extract.
05 -
½ cup sour cream.
06 -
3 cups all-purpose flour.
07 -
1 tsp. baking powder.

10 -
13 canned pineapple slices.
11 -
13 maraschino cherries.
12 -
½ cup melted butter.
13 -
1 cup light brown sugar (packed).
Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
02 -
Set aside a USA pan mini round cake pan or a similar non-stick muffin top pan.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and granulated sugar. Mix until light and fluffy.
04 -
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until combined.
05 -
Add the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Mix until the cookie dough just comes together. Set aside.
06 -
In a separate bowl, stir together the melted butter and light brown sugar until combined.
07 -
Add about a tablespoon of the brown sugar mixture into the bottom of each cavity of the pan. Spread it around to cover the bottom.
08 -
Place a pineapple slice on top of the brown sugar and a maraschino cherry in the center of the pineapple.
09 -
Add a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop of cookie dough to the top of each pineapple slice. Using an offset spatula, flatten the dough.
10 -
Place the pan into the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the brown sugar is bubbling up the sides.
11 -
Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes. Turn them out onto a wax paper covered surface. Note that the brown sugar will run all over, so the wax paper is necessary. If the pineapple sticks to the pan, reposition it back on the cookie.
12 -
Let the cookies cool completely before eating.
13 -
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 7 days. They are best if enjoyed within 2-3 days.
