Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Cookies:

1 cup butter (browned)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder (or baking soda)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 1/2 cups flour

For the Peach Filling:

2 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Cinnamon Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2-3 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Brown the Butter

Start by browning the butter over medium heat. This step adds a rich, nutty flavor to your cookies. Melt the butter until it turns a golden brown and you see little brown bits at the bottom. Pour it into a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.

2. Mix Sugars and Butter

Add the brown sugar, white sugar, and salt to the browned butter. Whisk until everything is well combined. This mixture should be smooth and creamy.

3. Add Wet Ingredients

Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs. Make sure your oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C) at this point.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the baking powder (or soda), cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until you get a thick, crumbly dough. If needed, use your hands to bring the dough together.

5. Form Cookies

Scoop the dough into 1-2 inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Create a well in the center of each cookie for the peach filling.

6. Bake Cookies

Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are crinkly and slightly brown. The cookies should be set but still soft in the center.

7. Prepare Peach Filling

While the cookies are baking, prepare the peach filling. On the stove, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, white sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and the peaches soften. Let it cool slightly.

8. Make Cinnamon Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. This glaze will add a sweet, spiced finish to your cookies.

9. Assemble Cookies

Once the cookies are baked, press the wells down a bit more if needed. Fill each well with the peach filling.

10. Add Glaze

Drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the cookies. This step adds a beautiful finish and extra flavor.

11. Serve and Enjoy

Enjoy the cookies warm, ideally with a scoop of ice cream on top. The combination of warm cookies, sweet peach filling, and creamy ice cream is simply divine.

Tips for Success

Use Fresh Peaches: If possible, use fresh peaches for the best flavor. If using canned peaches, make sure to rinse off the extra syrup.
Don’t Skip Browning the Butter: This step adds a depth of flavor that makes these cookies truly special.
Adjust Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be slightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
