Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for vegan)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon flour (to toss peaches with)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and dice fresh peaches into small, bite-sized pieces. Toss them lightly with 1 teaspoon of flour and a pinch of cinnamon to prevent excess moisture from making the cookies soggy.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly blended for consistent flavor.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until fluffy and light in color, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined, forming the base for your cookie dough.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the creamed wet ingredients, then gently incorporate the diced peaches, taking care not to overmix.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges turn golden and centers are set.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they keep their soft texture and shape.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
  • Chilling the dough before baking can help prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
  • Bake cookies just until golden to avoid dryness.
  • Peeling peaches creates a smoother cookie texture, but leaving the skin adds rustic appeal and extra fiber.
