Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup peach jam (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Make a Well for the Jam: Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, make a small indentation in the center of each cookie dough ball.

Fill with Jam: Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of peach jam into each indentation, being careful not to overfill, as the jam may leak out while baking.

Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and Dust: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, your Sweet Summer Peach Jam Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.
