These Pineapple Upside-Down Sugar Cookies reimagine the beloved tropical cake as a soft, chewy cookie you can enjoy by hand. A rich sugar cookie dough provides a buttery base, while tangy pineapple rings add a caramelized, fruity topping. Thoroughly drying the pineapple and dusting it with sugar allows it to glaze perfectly in the oven without adding excess moisture to the dough.
