A flavorful and fancy cookie, these bourbon-infused peach cookies are best shared with friends during peach season. A lightly spiced brown butter cookie is the base for a velvety bourbon cream cheese frosting and spiced, boozy peach compote. Baker Lasheeda Perry says that while these cookies are not a traditional Juneteenth dessert, they are an ideal recipe to bake in honor of the holiday. She specifically uses Uncle Nearest Bourbon in the peach compote and frosting as an homage to the first known African American master distiller, Nathan “Nearest” Green. This recipe was one of our Bake of the Week features for June 2024.

At first I thought that there wasn't quite enough filling but when I baked them, I realised that the amount was just perfect. Too much more and it might have been overkill. Fresh out of the oven would have been preferable and as it was we ate them just a few hours later with torrential rain pouring down outside.

From Dorie Greenspan’s Baking Chez Moi These are my ideal of a cookie — perfectly sweet, deeply vanilla, nicely salty, sandy textured. I found Bob's Red Mill Decorative Sparkling Sugar at a local co-op (Honest Weight in Albany), and it is so pretty and nice to have on hand. Having played around with the baking times/temperatures a bit due to my unreliable oven, I've found what works for me: Oven at 300ºF (which registers at 325ºF on my oven thermometer). Bake for 22 minutes, let cool briefly on sheetpan. Bake only one sheet of cookies at a time. The cookies should not be eaten warm. Storing: You can wrap the logs of dough airtight and keep them in the freezer for up to 2 months; coat them with the egg wash and sugar just before baking. Once baked, the cookies will keep at room temperature in a closed container for about 1 week.
