Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Flavor

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peaches, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and spices, forming the base for flavorful cookies.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air and dissolves sugars to create tender and moist cookies.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. These ingredients add moisture and depth, enriching the cookie’s taste and texture.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed to avoid overworking the dough, which can result in tougher cookies.
  5. Fold in Peaches: Gently fold in chopped fresh or thawed frozen peaches, distributing them evenly without breaking down the fruit too much to maintain juicy bites.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden and centers are set but still soft.

Notes

  • Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor burst in each cookie.
  • Mix ingredients only until combined to keep the texture tender.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps cookies hold their shape and enhances flavor.
  • Keep an eye on baking time; cookies may bake quickly, so check a minute or two early to avoid overbaking.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup and cookie release.
