Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (312 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227 grams)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar (100 grams)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice 2 medium ripe peaches into small cubes (about ¼ inch). Toss gently with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with ¾ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until incorporated.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  8. Scoop about 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of dough and flatten slightly in your hand. Place about 1 teaspoon of the peach mixture in the center, then fold dough around the peach to seal it inside, shaping into a ball. Place on prepared sheet about 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough and peach filling.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.
  10. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar once cooled.

Notes

Use firm but ripe peaches to avoid soggy cookies. Chill dough to prevent spreading and keep centers juicy. Seal peach filling well to avoid leaks. Avoid overbaking to maintain soft centers. If dough is sticky after chilling, refrigerate longer. Lemon juice is critical to prevent peach browning and balance sweetness.
