Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Mix in the mashed peaches and milk until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, peach juice (or milk), and lemon zest until smooth. If too thick, add more liquid a half teaspoon at a time.
- Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle or dip the tops with the peach glaze. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
For a stronger peach flavor, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract along with the vanilla extract. The cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
