Ingredients
- Large ripe peaches, diced
- Granulated sugar
- Light brown sugar
- Lemon juice
- Ground cinnamon
- Ground nutmeg
- Cornstarch
- Water
- Pure vanilla extract
- Salted butter, softened
- Large eggs
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- Salt
Instructions
- Combine diced peaches, sugars, lemon juice, and spices in a saucepan over medium heat; thicken with a cornstarch slurry, stir in vanilla, and chill completely.
- Cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars, then beat in eggs and vanilla until fluffy.
- Whisk dry ingredients including flour, leavening agents, and spices, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients to form a soft dough.
- Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes, scoop into 55-gram balls, and chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Mix butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon to form crumbs and bake at 350°F until golden; let cool.
- Roll dough balls in cinnamon-sugar and bake at 350°F for 11 to 13 minutes until the edges are set.
- Use a spoon to press an indent into the center of each warm cookie, then fill with the chilled peach mixture.
- Top with prepared crumble pieces and a light drizzle of sweet glaze before serving.
Notes
To ensure the cookies maintain their shape and do not spread too much, make sure the dough is thoroughly chilled before rolling. Using fresh, slightly firm peaches will provide the best texture for the filling without becoming too mushy during the simmering process.
