- 25 grams / 2 tablespoons superfine/caster sugar
- 14 grams / 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Muffin cookies
- 130 grams / 4.58 ounces butter room temperature
- 100 grams / ½ cup brown sugar
- 55 grams / 1 large egg room temperature
- 240 grams / 1 ½ cups plain flour
- 4 grams / 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea or kosher salt
Optional
- 20 grams / 1 ½ tablespoons Demerara sugar
Instructions
Peaches
- Place the peaches, sugar and lemon juice into a small saucepan on medium heat, cooking until jammy in appearance, but the cubes still mostly hold their shape, approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and roughly mash half the mixture with a fork. Set aside to cool.
Muffin cookies
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Place the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat on medium until pale and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Add the egg and continue to beat until well combined, beating for a further minute.
- Toss in the flour and baking powder and combine until no dry portions remain in your bowl.
- Scoop up a portion of dough and place onto your baking tray with 1 ½ inches between each cookie.
- Press the center with a tablespoon to make a well and spoon a portion of the peach mixture therein.
- Optional: Sprinkle over half a teaspoon of Demerara sugar over each cookie.
- Bake for 14 minutes or until lightly golden at the edges.
- Allow to sit on your baking tray for 3 minutes before transferring to cool completely.
- Serve up and Enjoy!
Notes
- Peaches: Fresh peaches are used here that still have some firmness, however, you could most definitely substitute with frozen or canned peaches, but would recommend using less sugar. If you want to use other stone fruit here, plums and apricots would work well alongside the peaches.
- Ice Cream Scoop: The scoop used here creates large cookies with a diameter of 6 centimeters / 2.36 inches. The indent in the center was made with a small scoop with a diameter of 4 centimeters / 1.57 inches, though you could do this with the back of a teaspoon.
