Ingredients
2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 c. drained crushed pineapple
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tbsp. pineapple juice

Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 350° and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Step 2In another large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugars together. Add egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and beat until just combined. Fold crushed pineapple into batter. Step 3Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop about 2 tablespoons dough and place on baking sheets, 2” apart, then flatten slightly. Step 4Bake until golden and set around the edges, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely. Step 5Meanwhile, make frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until no lumps remain. Add pineapple juice and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Transfer frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Step 6Pipe frosting onto cooled cookies.
