Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (230 g/8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup (150 g) diced fresh or canned peaches (drained)
- 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsps Crown Royal Peach Whiskey (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 1–2 tsps milk (optional, for consistency)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a clean surface for baking.
- Mixing Base: Whip butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating an airy foundation for the cookies.
- Wet Ingredient Integration: Gently introduce eggs one at a time, then thoroughly blend in vanilla extract, ensuring a smooth and consistent wet mixture.
- Dry Ingredient Combination: Sift flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl, guaranteeing even distribution of dry components.
- Dough Formation: Carefully fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring minimally to prevent toughening the dough, then gently incorporate diced peaches throughout the batter.
- Cookie Shaping: Use a cookie scoop to create uniform dough mounds, strategically placing them on the prepared baking sheet with adequate spacing.
- Baking Process: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, watching for golden edges and set centers that indicate perfect doneness.
- Cooling Stage: Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, stabilizing their texture.
- Glaze Preparation: Whisk powdered sugar with Crown Royal Peach Whiskey, adjusting consistency with milk if needed to achieve a smooth, drizzleable glaze.
- Finishing Touch: Once cookies are fully cooled, elegantly drizzle the glaze over the top using a spoon or piping bag, ensuring even and artistic coverage, then allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
- Prevent Peach Browning: Toss freshly diced peaches with a sprinkle of lemon juice to maintain their bright color and prevent oxidation during mixing.
- Manage Moisture Carefully: Pat peaches dry with paper towels before folding into dough to prevent excess liquid from making cookies soggy or affecting texture.
- Control Glaze Consistency: Adjust Crown Royal Peach Whiskey and powdered sugar ratio gradually, adding tiny amounts to achieve perfect drizzling thickness without becoming too runny or thick.
- Baking Precision Matters: Use an oven thermometer to confirm accurate temperature, as slight variations can dramatically impact cookie browning and overall texture.
