Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture until a soft dough forms.
Roll dough into balls (about 1½ tablespoons each) and flatten slightly before placing on the prepared baking sheet.
Top each dough disk with a pineapple ring, pressing gently to adhere.
Sprinkle additional sugar over each pineapple ring.
Bake for 12–14 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Allow cooling on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
