Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Provides rich flavor and moisture; no substitution necessary for best results.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the dough and helps achieve a tender texture; brown sugar could add depth if desired.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds ingredients and adds moisture; can substitute with flaxseed meal for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor profile; almond extract can be used for a unique twist.
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour Gives structure to the cookies; cake flour can be used for a lighter texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Leavens the cookies for a soft, airy bite.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavors.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Peach Preserves Used for the filling; can be substituted with homemade peach puree if needed.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Peach Cookies Recipe
  1. Begin by creaming together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
  3. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into balls and make an indentation in each, adding peach preserves and enclosing the dough.
  5. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the bottoms are golden.
  6. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes, then roll in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
