Step-by-Step Instructions for Peach Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt until well combined.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
  4. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the butter-sugar mix until combined. Fold in 1 cup of finely chopped ripe peaches and ¼ cup of peach preserves.
  5. Drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart. Optionally sprinkle with sanding sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
  7. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
