Pineapple Upside Down Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together dry ingredients ( flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt). Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, blend together (with hand or stand mixer) butter and brown sugar. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Add the well drained crushed pineapple and mix well. Remember to scrape down sides and bottom of bowl, ensuring even mixing. With mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until all the flour has been incorporated. Scoop dough out onto parchment lined cookie sheets about 2 inches apart (they will spread slightly). Bake in preheated oven for about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack. Ice cookies once they are completely cool. Icing: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the stick of butter. Once the stick of butter has melted stir in the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Bring mixture to boil and then reduce heat to medium low and continue to boil for 2 minutes. Once the two minutes are up, stir in the cream and return to boil, stirring constantly. Once it reaches a boil, remove from heat and let cool. Once the mixture is at least lukewarm, transfer it to a mixing bowl and with beaters on low, slowly add the confectioners sugar and beat to desired consistency. You may want to add extra cream/milk to icing to make it thinner - I did. Tip: I made my icing the night before and stuck it in the fridge, the next morning it was rock hard! I stuck it in the microwave for one minute to loosen it up, stuck it back in the mixing bowl and slowly added more cream (little by little) until I reached the desired consistency. The thinner the icing the easier it is to ice the cookies. The icing will thicken/harden the longer it sits, so ice the cookies as soon as the icing is ready to go

Place dough on a floured surface and knead for about ten strokes. Too much kneading will toughen up the dough. Divide the dough in half.
• In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. On a floured surface, roll out 1/2 of the dough at a time to a 12x10 inch rectangle. Brush with the melted butter, and sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough. Cut the rectangle into 5 strips 12 x 2 inches each. Stack the strips on top of one another, and cut the stack into 2 inch squares. Place the squares, layered side down, into the muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
