Baking Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the large eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until smooth.
Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the crushed pineapple gently.
Melt the brown sugar in a separate pan over low heat, then pour it into the bottom of cookie molds.
Place maraschino cherries on top of the melted brown sugar.
Scoop cookie dough into the molds, covering the sugar and cherries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Cool the cookies for a few minutes before inverting onto a plate.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore warmth.
