Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced (or thawed frozen)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie preparation.
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry ingredient blend.
- Cream butter and sugars in a separate large bowl until the mixture becomes airy and pale, indicating proper incorporation.
- Introduce the egg into the butter mixture, blending thoroughly to ensure smooth consistency.
- Gently fold diced peaches into the wet ingredients, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Slowly integrate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to prevent overmixing.
- Using a tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving adequate spacing between cookies.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges as a doneness indicator.
- Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on wire racks, enabling them to set and develop a perfect texture.
Notes
- Swap fresh peaches with frozen ones by thawing and patting them dry to prevent excess moisture in cookies.
- Mix in a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for enhanced warm, aromatic flavor that complements the peaches beautifully.
- Drizzle a light vanilla glaze over cooled cookies for extra sweetness and elegant presentation that elevates the summer dessert.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness and prevent them from becoming dry or crumbly.
