Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Cups:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Peach Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or use canned, drained)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Topping (optional):

  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
    • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Form the Cookie Cups:
    • Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press the dough down and up the sides to form a cup shape.
  • Prepare the Peach Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir until the peaches are well coated and the mixture is evenly combined.
  • Fill the Cookie Cups:
    • Spoon the peach filling into each cookie cup, filling them generously.
  • Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie cups are golden brown and the peaches are tender.
    • Allow the cookie cups to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve:
    • Dust with powdered sugar, and top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
    • Enjoy these delightful Peach Bar Cookie Cups as a handheld taste of summer!

Notes

  • Cooling: Make sure the cookie cups are completely cooled before removing them from the muffin tin to prevent breaking.
  • Substitutes: You can use canned peaches if fresh ones are not available; just ensure they are well-drained.
