Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and almond meal.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
• In a saucepan, combine the diced peaches, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly.
• Remove the peach filling from the heat and stir in the almond extract.
• Roll the cookie dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
• Spoon a small amount of the peach filling into each indentation.
• Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

• Make sure to fully cool the peach filling before spooning it onto the cookies to prevent the dough from becoming too soft.
• These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Information

• You can substitute almond meal with finely ground almonds if you don't have almond meal available.
• Feel free to add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top of the cookies for an extra touch of sweetness.
