Instructions
- Craft a luscious peach filling by simmering diced peaches with aromatic spices and tangy citrus until the mixture transforms into a thick, glossy compote. Incorporate a cornstarch mixture to enhance the consistency, then allow the filling to cool and set.
- Create a velvety cookie dough by creaming together softened butter, cream cheese, and sweeteners until light and airy. Gently fold in eggs and vanilla extract, then gradually incorporate dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Refrigerate the dough to enhance flavor and texture.
- Transform chilled dough into delicate spheres, rolling each in a fragrant cinnamon-sugar blend. Carefully create a well in the center of each cookie, generously filling with the prepared peach compote. Freeze the assembled cookies to solidify their structure.
- Develop a crisp, golden crumb topping by blending complementary ingredients. Toast the crumbs in a preheated 350°F oven until they achieve a beautiful golden-brown hue, then allow them to cool completely before breaking into delicate pieces.
- Arrange the prepared cookies on a baking sheet, adorning each with the prepared crumb topping. Bake at 350°F for approximately 12-13 minutes until edges are lightly golden. While still warm, sprinkle additional crumbs and allow to cool completely. Enhance the final presentation with a drizzle of luxurious vanilla glaze and extra peach filling.
Notes
- Maximize Peach Flavor Choose ripe, in-season peaches for the most intense sweet-tangy taste. Overripe peaches work perfectly for deeper, more concentrated filling.
- Texture Perfection Chill dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and ensure thick, soft cookies with clean edges during baking.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation Swap wheat flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend to make these cookies celiac-friendly without compromising texture or taste.
- Storage Hack These cookies freeze beautifully for up to 3 weeks. Layer between parchment paper in an airtight container to maintain their delicate crumb and fruity filling.
