Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based egg substitute
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Pineapple Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pineapple Topping: Mix fresh pineapple chunks with brown sugar and the natural gelling agent in a bowl until well combined to create a sticky, caramelized topping. Set this mixture aside while you prepare the cookie dough.
  2. Mix the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream the plant-based butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg substitute, vanilla extract (natural), and apple cider vinegar, and mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to ensure tender cookies.
  4. Assemble the Cookies: Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spoon the pineapple topping evenly onto the prepared sheet, then place dollops of cookie dough on top to create the signature upside effect.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the cookies until the edges are golden and the pineapple topping bubbles beautifully. Remove from the oven, allow the cookies to cool slightly, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple for the brightest flavor and juiciest topping.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep cookies soft and tender.
  • If possible, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Watch the baking time closely as cookies can go from perfect to overdone quickly.
