Peach Cobbler Cookies 🍪🍑😋
Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup diced fresh peaches (or canned peaches, drained and diced)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Sugar for sprinkling

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream the Butter and Sugars:

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla:

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in Peaches:

Gently fold in the diced peaches and white chocolate chips (if using).

Scoop and Sprinkle:

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle the tops with a little granulated sugar.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look a bit soft but will set as they cool.

Prepare the Glaze:

While the cookies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.

Glaze the Cookies:

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the cookies.
