Preparation
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine peeled and diced fresh peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for about 6 minutes until bubbly and softened. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir into peach mixture to thicken. Remove from heat to cool.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Gradually mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg to form a thick dough. Chill dough for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop chilled dough into tablespoon-sized balls, roll in a sugar-cinnamon mix, and place on baking sheet with spacing. Bake for 11-13 minutes until edges set and centers remain soft. Cool on wire rack.
- Once cookies are completely cooled, create an indent in the center of each. Spoon peach filling into each indentation and drizzle glaze over cookies.
