- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup coarse cane sugar for rolling
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsps baking powder

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp lemon juice

- 1–2 tbsps whole milk
- 0.75 tsp ground cinnamon for rolling

Instructions
- Peach Preparation: Simmer peaches with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt over medium heat until softened and slightly thickened, mashing gently to create a chunky texture. Incorporate cornstarch slurry to enhance viscosity, then cool completely.
- Dough Creation: Cream butter, cream cheese, white and brown sugars until fluffy. Blend in eggs and vanilla, then gradually fold in dry ingredients to form a smooth cookie dough. Chill for 30 minutes to firm.
- Cookie Formation: Roll chilled dough into uniform balls, coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Create a small well in each cookie’s center using a measuring spoon, then fill with cooled peach mixture.
- Freezing Stage: Freeze filled cookies for 3-4 hours to set the structure and concentrate flavors.
- Baking Process: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Arrange cookies on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until edges turn golden brown. Cool briefly on sheet, then transfer to wire rack.
- Finishing Touches: Sprinkle additional crumb topping over cookies. Prepare a delicate glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk or cream, then drizzle elegantly across the surface. Serve and enjoy the harmonious blend of peach and sweet cookie textures.
Notes
- Chill Strategically: Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading and enhance flavor development during baking.
- Master Peach Texture: Gently mash peaches to create a chunky, rustic filling that prevents overly runny consistency.
- Prevent Soggy Bottoms: Freeze filled cookies before baking to maintain structural integrity and ensure crisp edges.
- Customize Sweetness: Adjust sugar levels in peach filling and cinnamon-sugar coating based on peach ripeness and personal preference.
