Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Peach Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with silicone mats or parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda until thoroughly combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream ½ cup of softened unsalted butter along with ½ cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Incorporate 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until fully combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped ripe peaches and ½ cup of peach preserves into the cookie dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each dollop.
  8. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of sanding sugar and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over each cookie before baking.
  9. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the Peach Cookies for 11-13 minutes or until golden around the edges.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
