How to Make Granny's Pineapple Drop Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
  7. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
