TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – August is National Peach Month and if you’re looking for a perfect dessert to serve up, Dessert Diva has you covered with her recipe for peaches and cream butter cookies!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (I chop up half, so there are small pieces)
  • 1/2 peach (pit removed, and diced) you can use a little more if your peach is small
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

STEPS:

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Use a nonstick baking sheet, or place parchment paper on baking sheet.
  • In small bowl, add together flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Mix in egg, vanilla and almond extract until smooth. Stir in flour mixture until well combined.
  • Fold in white chocolate chips and peaches.
  • Drop by tsp (mine is more of a heaping tsp) onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are just starting to brown. Take out of oven, leave on pan for about 3 to 4 minutes. Take off and place on parchment paper, dust with powdered sugar when warm and again when cooled.
  • ENJOY!

Notes: I keep the skin on, but feel free to remove. My peach was big, so I just used half, but use a whole if you have a small peach.
