Fresh Peaches and Cream Cookies

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups fresh, diced peaches (skin removed)

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1-2 Tbsp cream (or enough to make a drizzle consistency)

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir together and set aside.

2. Using a sharp knife, remove the skin from peaches and cut into small chunks. Place the diced peaches on a paper towel and set aside.

3. In another large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until combined. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed until well incorporated. Gently fold in peaches and white chocolate chips.

4. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough in rounded spoonfuls onto the cookie sheets. Leave plenty of room between cookies to allow for some spreading. Bake about 10-12 minutes until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

5. Mix together the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle lightly over cookies while still warm. Allow to cool. Enjoy!

Notes: Stir in the peaches and white chocolate chips well. It says 'gently fold', but it is difficult to be gentle with a stiff cookie dough. Do the best you can.
