Awwww… Nothing like a luscious afternoon tea to kick off all the week’s aggravation. Reading my new Ottolenghi book (Plenty) it is vegetarian heaven. By the way it’s Friday, yuhuuuull! What are your plans? Going for a short trip? Or just stay at home chilling? Ether or, I strongly recommend this cookies, they are not only very yummy but they also smell fantastic. I’m so in love with this Orange blossom water. Have you tried it? They smell heavenly. I used fresh peach for this one. It’s cakey and chewy. Soooooo good. Go on…change to your flips and go bake some cookies giiiirl, (or guy) Plenty of guys baking nowadays. Isn’t that awesome? Have a great weekend.

Fresh Peach Orange Blossom Cookies
Adapted from Marta Stewart’s Cookies.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
- 2 large peaches, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch dice.
- 1/3 cup peach jam or preserves
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Beat butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Beat in egg and orange blossom water. Add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Add peaches and jam, and beat until just combined.
Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, drop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden brown and just set, 11 to 13 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, and then transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

oooooooooh, so pretty! I guess with the cakey-ness would be reminiscent of a Madeleine? I love the addition of peaches. I rarely buy them anymore because I can never eat them fast enough. They get so ripe so quickly… but as an alternative to crisps or pies, this is vunderbar

Don’t these look yummy! And I love the peach pitting/slicing tool–great gadget indeed.
What a wonderful cookie – so summer!! I use orange blossom in my madelines and it justs adds that extra wow of flavor. Enjoy your weekend!!

Beautiful cookies! I’m sure they taste wonderful.
Where did you get the peach cutter?
I’ve got a ton of fresh peaches I bought on a whim at the market last week, so I’m desperately looking for interesting things I can make with them (besides peach pie.. because peach pie is so obvious). And this recipe is exactly what I needed!
Now I just need to pick up some orange blossom water, because that sounds like a great flavour to go with ripe peaches. YUM.

Anna – you have this ability to make everything you post about instantly an object of desire! Those cookies, the cup and saucer, the biscuit jar, even the table top! You may not know this, but you are my photography “sensei” and I hope to one day become a worthy student…..

Oh! Denise you are funny, so you want to be my “grasshopper” ? LOL.
I’m so happy that finally you can comment in my site. FINALLY!!!!!!
Your photographs are gorgeous!
Hmmm, that peach cutter looks like something I might have to own. Where did you get it?? And these cookies sound like such a great marriage of flavors, although I dont have any orange blossom water, but plenty of peaches. What do you think I could substitute instead?

Hi Amanda, the Orange blossom water usually you can find in any Israeli or Middle Eastern market, Rose water would be nice too.
PS. The peach cutter is from Williams Sonoma.
These look delicious! I love all the gorgeous pictures…and definitely need one of those peach slicers!

These are beautiful and sound and look delicious. Very creative. And I want one of those apple slicer things–we had one when I was a kid.
What a fantastic kitchen gadget! These cookies look like a great way to spend your weekend

I’ve NEVER had cookies with fresh peaches. I’m so excited to try these!
your photos are so great they really make your food come alive! fantastic looking cookies
imma give ‘em a try
I love orange blossom! It’s the best!!! I don’t doubt that these cookies did not turn out well. I am saving the recipe.
You changed your banner! Looks good.
I have seen a gadget like this at a Paperchef party back in Ohio, but it was used for coring and slicing apples. In any case, it looks useful.
Every time I pass by the aisle that holds orange and rose water in my local Persian store I stop and contemplate if I should buy one or the other. They just sound intoxicatingly good.
I love your photos!
Greetings from Orange County!
