Ingredients
2 cups Flour (plus 2 tablespoons)
3⁄4 teaspoons Salt
1⁄2 teaspoon Baking Soda
8 tablespoons Butter
1 cup Sugar (plus 2 tablespoons)
1 whole Egg
1⁄2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 whole Peaches (peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice)
1⁄3 cup Peach Jam
1⁄8 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
  2. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Add peaches and jam, and beat until just combined.
  3. Using a tablespoon, drop dough onto baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle each cookie with 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  4. 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.
