Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 2 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Cookie Dough

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and finely chop the fresh peaches, then mix them with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes to macerate, releasing natural juices and enhancing flavor.
  2. Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the cold butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then gently fold everything together until a tender but sturdy dough forms that will hold the peach filling during baking.
  3. Assemble the Cookies: Scoop a small amount of dough into your palm, flatten slightly, place a spoonful of the peach filling in the center, and fold the dough around it, sealing the fruit inside. Roll the dough ball lightly and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them well apart to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown around the edges and the peach filling is bubbling slightly. Allow the cookies to cool before serving to enjoy their warm, fruity goodness.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
  • Chill the cookie dough before assembling to maintain structure and flakiness.
  • Drain any excess liquid from the peach filling to avoid soggy cookies.
  • Handle the dough gently to prevent tough cookies.
  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and cookie release.
