Ingredients
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup peach puree (or 1 teaspoon peach extract)
½ cup buttermilk
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peach puree to the mixture and beat well.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
6. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared sheets and bake for 10–12 minutes until set and lightly golden.
7. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
8. For the filling, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Beat until fluffy.
9. Pipe or spread the filling onto half of the cookies and top with the other halves.
10. Chill or serve immediately.
Notes
For a stronger peach flavor, add an extra teaspoon of peach extract to the cookie batter.
Ensure cookies are fully cooled before filling to prevent the cream from melting.
