Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit Ingredients
  • 2 large ripe peaches (peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces) (about 1 to 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/3 cup peach preserves
Toppings
  • 3 tablespoons sanding sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
  5. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until everything is combined.
  6. Gently fold in the peaches and preserves, mixing just until incorporated.
Baking
  1. Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared pans, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  2. Combine the sanding sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle each cookie with about 1/8 teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar blend.
  3. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until golden brown and just set.
  4. Cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
