Baking Process
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and mix until combined for 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Scoop out about 1½ tablespoons of dough, roll it into balls, flatten slightly, and place on lined baking sheets.
  6. Top each disk with a pineapple ring, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Sprinkle a little granulated sugar over each pineapple ring for added sweetness.
