Pineapples Wearing Sunglasses Cookies. No matter how cool you are, you’re probably never gonna be as cool as pineapples wearing shades cool. Pinterest has made chalkboards, foxes, pallets, and owls popular; and, lordy, I don’t know who is responsible for this, but bless them. Pineapples with shades. Here is my ode to the hottest new Pinterest tropic. I mean, topic.
Decorated vanilla sugar cookies with pineapple royal icing. They’re the hipster version of retro pineapple upside-down cake. No. Wait. That would be a pineapple upside-down cake. But, really. Do we care? They’re way too adorbs to worry about such things.

Sugar Cookies For Decorating
Cream together:
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
Add & beat together well:
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups flour
Refrigerate dough for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F. Choose cookie cutters. Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thick using Flour Power to keep the dough from sticking to the counter. Swoosh cookie cutter in flour for easy release from dough each time you cut out a cookie. Place on a parchment-lined half sheet pan. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges. Allow cookies to cool completely.
Flour Power
Whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 cup flour then sprinkle on the counter & rolling pin to roll the cookies. This keeps the dough from sticking to the counter and prevents flour-bottomed cookies!
