Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda; set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well until combined.
Mixing & Baking
  1. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
  2. Gently fold in the chopped peaches and peach preserves until just combined.
  3. Using a tablespoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the sanding sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle about 1/8 teaspoon of the mixture onto each cookie.
  5. Place in the oven and bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and just set.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, ensure peaches are perfectly ripe. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Dough can be frozen for up to a month.
