Fruit
- 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced, excess juice removed
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (ensure gluten-free if needed)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened (or vegan margarine for vegan version)
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg (or flax/chia egg substitute for vegan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the peaches: Peel and dice fresh peaches into small chunks. Set aside and pat dry with paper towels, removing any excess juice to prevent soggy dough.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Cream butter and sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, forming the base for the cookies.
- Add egg and vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, creating a smooth and cohesive batter.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in peaches: Carefully fold the diced peaches into the dough, distributing them evenly while keeping the chunks intact.
- Scoop and bake: Spoon cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes or until the edges turn golden.
Notes
- Choose ripe, sweet peaches for best flavor without additional sugar.
- Drain and pat peaches dry to prevent soggy cookies.
- Mix dough just until ingredients are combined to maintain tender texture.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for even blending.
- Adjust baking time slightly to achieve desired chewiness or crisp edges.
