Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack
  • Small spoon or cookie scoop

Ingredients
  

  • Cookie Dough:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh or canned peaches well-drained if using canned
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips optional
  • Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
  • In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Place the mixture in the fridge to firm up while preparing the cookie dough.
  • Make the Cookie Dough
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the diced peaches and white chocolate chips (if using).
  • Assemble the Cookies
  • Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm.
  • Place a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of the chilled cream cheese filling in the center.
  • Cover the filling with another small piece of dough and gently seal the edges, rolling the cookie into a ball. Repeat for the remaining dough and filling.
  • Bake the Cookies
  • Place the stuffed cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool and Serve
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
