Meet peach cobbler: in cookie form! This thumbprint-style cookie is filled with warm-spiced peach filling, just like peach cobbler. To prevent the cookies from getting too soft, keep the extras stored in the refrigerator.

- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.13 teaspoons ground nutmeg

For filling: Place peaches, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is boiling and sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Stir lemon juice and cornstarch together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined; pour into the peaches and stir to thoroughly incorporate. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour mixture into a heatproof container and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour, or up to 2 days.

For cookie dough: Beat butter, brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Pour remaining 1/4 cup white sugar into a small bowl and set aside. Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoons dough and roll it into a ball. Roll dough ball in white sugar until thoroughly coated. Using your thumb or the handle of a wooden spoon or spatula, press an indentation into the center of the cookie measuring about 3/4-inch wide and about 1/3-inch deep. Repeat process with remaining cookie dough.

Remove filling from the refrigerator. Place about 1 1/2 teaspoons filling into the indentation of each cookie, heaping the filling into the center of the cookies. Refrigerate filled cookies for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line baking sheets with parchment. Place cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake cookies, 1 pan at a time, in the preheated oven until edges begin to turn golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool cookies on the pan for 5 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cooled cookies in the refrigerator.

Pop's Molasses Popcorn Balls and Taffy
This recipe has been in our family for more than 100 years. My dad's mother would make and pull it on the taffy hook on her kitchen door jam. She would then sell it at the local mercantile in Alberta, Canada. As soon as fall came, my siblings and I would beg Pop to make them. We loved every minute of it, except the burnt hands from the hot syrup, that is. We knew company was coming when they heard Pop was making them. He always let me help when I got old enough. I still make these with my family. The flavor is somewhat like caramel candies. We always double this recipe so we have enough to make taffy and popcorn balls. My pop always made 2 double batches. Posting this recipe has brought back many wonderful and happy memories from my childhood. I do so in honor of my Pop (RIP 1917-1997).
