Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced fresh peaches

Topping

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Setting this aside ensures the leavening agents and seasoning are evenly distributed.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the room temperature unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This process incorporates air, contributing to a tender cookie.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugars, blending until thoroughly combined to create a smooth cookie dough base.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring just until the flour is incorporated to avoid overmixing and tough cookies.
  6. Fold in Peaches: Gently fold the diced fresh peaches into the dough using a spatula, being careful to distribute the fruit evenly without mashing them.
  7. Portion Dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Sprinkle this lightly over each dollop of dough to add a sweet, spicy crust once baked.
  9. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are fully set, ensuring the peaches are cooked but retain moisture.
  10. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set properly and maintains their texture.

Notes

  • Use very ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and juiciness in your cookies.
  • Ensure the butter is at room temperature to cream properly with the sugars.
  • If fresh peaches are not available, frozen peaches can be used but thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
  • For a more intense peach flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of peach extract or zest to the dough.
  • Cookies are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
