  3. Use a fork to mash the peaches until jam-like.

  5. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, and sugars until light and fluffy.
  6. Mix in egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined.
  7. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until combined.
  8. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  9. Combine coarse sugar and cinnamon for rolling.
  10. Roll dough into balls, coat in cinnamon sugar, and form indents for filling.
  11. Fill each indent with peach filling and freeze for 3-4 hours.
  12. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  13. For the topping, mix melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon until crumbly.
  14. Bake the crumb topping until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
  15. Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes, topping with crumbs.
  16. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for glaze and drizzle over cookies.
