Description
A delightful blend of buttery goodness and fruity sweetness, these Italian Peach Cookies are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Cream them together until the mix is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until everything is combined and creamy.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This step is optional but helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Form and Bake Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop portions of the dough, roll them into balls, and place them on a lined baking sheet. Create an indentation in each cookie and fill with peach preserves.
- Bake: Pop them in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they’re lightly golden.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before treating yourself to a taste of these sweet delights.
