FAQs
Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, but drain canned peaches thoroughly, and thaw and pat dry frozen peaches to prevent excess moisture in the dough.

How do I keep the cookies from spreading too much?
Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
Can I make these cookies without alcohol?
Yes, substitute the whiskey in the glaze with peach juice, milk, or cream for a non-alcoholic version.
What’s the best way to dice peaches for this recipe?
Peel the peaches (if desired), then cut them into small, evenly sized pieces to ensure they distribute evenly throughout the dough.
Can I add other fruits?
Yes, diced nectarines or apricots can be used in place of or alongside peaches.
How do I get the glaze to set quickly?
Place the glazed cookies in the refrigerator for a few minutes to speed up the setting process.
Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! This recipe scales well, just ensure your mixer can handle the larger batch.
What’s the best way to drizzle the glaze?
Use a spoon or a small piping bag for a neat and even drizzle.
