Picking the Right Peach Jam for Your Peach Cookies

Peach Cookies get some of their wonderful flavor from the jam used in the filling. So, you want to be intentional about the kind of jam that you choose. If you’re really thinking ahead, you can homemake peach jam. However, no judgment if you don’t have time for that, because there’s plenty of great peach jam out there on the shelves. Sarabeth’s is great for baking, as is Bonne Maman and Stonewall Kitchen.
