Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 8 tablespoons butter 1 stick
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh peaches diced, about 3 peaches
  • 1/3 cup peach jam

For the topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla pudding powder
  • 1 cup fresh peaches diced

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375-F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda together in a medium sized bowl.
  • With the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the flour and mix until just combined.
  • Add the peach jam and combine, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the finely diced peaches using a spatula.
  • Scoop the cookies with a 1.5-inch cookie scoop or large spoon and place them 2-inches apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. They will spread.
  • Bake the cookies at 375-F for about 12 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

To make the topping:

  • Whip the whipping cream and vanilla until soft peaks form, 2-3 minutes on high speed.
  • Add the icing sugar and vanilla powder and beat until stiff peaks form. This will happen quickly so don't walk away.
  • Fold in the diced peaches.

To assemble the cookies:

  • Lay the peach cookies out flat and top each with a generous spoonful of the whipped cream topping.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • These cookies are best eaten right away. The peaches in them will soften the cookies if they're left out for too long. If you're not going to eat them right away, pop them into the freezer.
  • The topping will keep for 2-3 days if tightly wrapped in the fridge.
  • Keep the cookie dough in the fridge in between batches, especially if your kitchen is warm.
  • No peach jam? You can use apricot jam instead.
