For The Topping:

How To Make Peach Blossom Cookies?

  • Measure the sugar into a small bowl and set aside. Then, in another bowl, measure the flour.
  • Using a hand-held or stand mixer, blend the cream cheese and butter on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and add the sugar. Blend these for 2 minutes on medium speed. You want the mixture to be smooth-looking. Slowly add the flour. Cover the mixer bowl and refrigerate for an hour.
  • While the cookie dough is in the refrigerator, take the skin off the peach and take the pit out. Cut the peach into small pieces and add them to a small bowl. Sprinkle the sugar and the lemon juice over the cut-up peaches. Let them sit for about 5 minutes in the juice. After 5 minutes, drain them using a strainer and then lay them out on a paper towel. The goal is to get as much juice out of the peach pieces without smashing them. Change the paper towel that the peach pieces are laying on a couple of times; it will help draw the juice out.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°, and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using a meduim cookie scoop, scoop the dough and make a ball using your hands, and place it on the cookie sheet. I put 12 balls on a sheet pan. Taking your thumb and pushing down right through the middle of the dough ball to make a well. I move my thumb around in a circular motion, so the well opens up some to accommodate more of the jam. Fill the well with the jam. I use a teaspoon to push the jam off the spoon; this is easier than using a measuring spoon.
  • Bake for 12 – 14 minutes until they are light brown on the bottom. Then, move the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely. If you would like to add a little more peach flavor to your cookies, you can add a piece of the cut-up peach on the paper towel. Press lightly; the sticky preserves will hold the peach in place. Just make sure you have as much juice out of the peaches so there won’t be a wet spot on the bottom of your cookies. Then sprinkle some powdered sugar on top to finish off the cookie.

How Long Do Blossom Cookies Stay Fresh?

Peach Blossoms will stay soft and fresh in an airtight container (at room temperature) for 3-5 days, or you can also freeze them! Freezing cookies is an awesome option when cooking in bulk for holidays or parties.

You can bake them in advance, freeze them, and then enjoy them once the party arrives.

How To Freeze Peach Blossom Cookies?

You can freeze the dough before baking, or even freeze the completed cookies. Here’s how.

To Freeze the Peanut Butter Blossoms dough (before baking):

Follow the steps in the recipe card below for making the cookie dough. Follow through the step for rolling the dough into balls.

Once the dough balls are formed, place the balls into a freezer-safe reusable bag and press as much air out as possible. Seal in the bag, and then place in another bag to create a double layer of protection for freezing.

Store the dough in the freezer for up to 6 months.

When ready to cook, lay the dough out onto a cookie sheet until you can use your thumb to create the well for the peaches.  Then proceed with the rest of the instructions found in the recipe card.

Peach Blossom Cookies

Yield: 24 Cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 14 minutes
Cooling Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 29 minutes

Fun buttery cookies featuring peaches!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup room temperature Butter unsalted 2 sticks
  • 8 ounces softened Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup white Sugar
  • 2-½ cups All-purpose flour
  • 8 ounces Peach Preserves (Jam or Jelly)

For The Topping:

  • 1 peach cut into small pieces
  • ⅛ teaspoon Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar white
  • Powdered sugar Sprinkle on top

Instructions

  1. Measure the sugar into a small bowl and set aside. Then, in another bowl, measure the flour.
  2. Using a hand-held or stand mixer, blend the cream cheese and butter on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and add the sugar. Blend these for 2 minutes on medium speed. You want the mixture to be smooth-looking. This will tell you that the sugar has been incorporated. Scrape down the sides and turn the mixer back on at a low speed. Slowly add the flour. I usually scrape down the sides and across the bottom and turn the mixer on again for about another 30 seconds. Cover the mixer bowl and refrigerate for an hour.
  3. While the cookie dough is in the refrigerator, take the skin off the peach and take the pit out. Cut the peach into small pieces and add them to a small bowl. Sprinkle the sugar and the lemon juice over the cut-up peaches. Stir them around, so the pieces of peach get coated. Let them sit for about 5 minutes in the juice. After 5 minutes, drain them using a strainer and then lay them out on a paper towel. The goal is to get as much juice out of the peach pieces without smashing them. Change the paper towel that the peach pieces are laying on a couple of times; it will help draw the juice out.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°, and line 2 cookie sheet pans with parchment paper. For these cookies, I use a medium cookie scoop. Take the cookie dough scoop, make a ball using your hands, and place it on the cookie sheet. I put 12 balls on a sheet pan. Taking your thumb and pushing down right through the middle of the dough ball to make a well. I move my thumb around in a circular motion, so the well opens up some to accommodate more of the jam. Fill the well with the jam. I use a teaspoon to push the jam off the spoon; this is easier than using a measuring spoon.
  5. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes until they are light brown on the bottom. Then, move the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely. If you would like to add a little more peach flavor to your cookies, you can add a piece of the cut-up peach on the paper towel. Press lightly; the sticky preserves will hold the peach in place. Just make sure you have as much juice out of the peaches so there won't be a wet spot on the bottom of your cookies. Then sprinkle some powdered sugar on top to finish off the cookie.
