Ingredients
Scale
Peaches and Baking Essentials:
- 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (150 g) diced fresh or canned peaches (drained)
- 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Sugars and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons Crown Royal Peach Whiskey (adjust to taste)
- 1–2 teaspoons milk (optional, for consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture becomes airy and pale.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter mixture, then blend in vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a clean bowl, whisking to ensure even distribution.
- Gradually integrate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully to maintain a smooth consistency without overmixing.
- Delicately fold diced peaches into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into uniform mounds and arrange them on the lined baking sheet, leaving sufficient space between each cookie.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, monitoring until cookie edges turn golden and centers appear fully set.
- After removing from the oven, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack and allow them to reach room temperature completely.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with Crown Royal Peach Whiskey until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
- If the glaze seems too thick, incrementally add milk to reach the desired drizzling texture.
- Once cookies are fully cooled, decorate by drizzling the glaze using a spoon or piping bag, ensuring even coverage.
- Allow the glaze to set and firm up before serving the cookies.
Notes
- Ensure peaches are ripe and not too juicy to prevent soggy cookie dough, patting diced peaches dry with paper towels helps maintain perfect texture.
- Substitute Crown Royal Peach Whiskey with peach nectar or orange juice for a non-alcoholic version that still delivers vibrant fruity flavor.
- Chilling the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent excessive spreading and creates a more structured, uniform cookie shape.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to maintain their soft texture and prevent the glaze from sticking together.
