Step-by-Step: How to Make This Dreamy Peach Blossom Cookie

Final Thoughts

1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Cream the Butter & Sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—this ensures a tender, crispy crumb.

3. Add Wet Ingredients
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by peach extract and peach zest. Stir gently to combine.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients
Mix flour and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually combine with wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Fold in butter until just incorporated.

5. Shape & Bake
Roll the dough gently into small balls. Place on the prepared pan with about 2 inches between each. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges turn lightly golden.

6. Cool & Decorate
Letting the cookies cool fully allows them to set. Dust with petal-free edible petals or a light sprinkle of powdered peach pigment for a springtime touch.
