Peaches spiced with cardamom, nutmeg, and cinnamon tempered by vanilla and cream make these cookies spicy and subtly sweet, and the baking powder in the recipe lends to the cookie's soft, cake-like texture. This was the perfect cookie to say goodbye to peaches and summer, and welcome spices and fall!
Spiced Peaches and Cream Cookies
Ingredients
2 diced peaches
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
2/3 cup heavy cream
Demerara sugar for sprinkling (which I forgot!)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix peaches, spices, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a bowl. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl, and cut in butter until the mixture is like coarse sand. Stir in the heavy cream to the dry mix. Finally, add the peaches and incorporate well. Spoon two tablespoons onto a parchment lined sheet pan for each cookie. Sprinkle tops with demerara sugar. Bake for 20 minutes, turning pan half way through.
