Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh ripe peaches, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for tossing peaches)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (or vegan butter/coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and dice fresh peaches into small chunks, then toss them lightly with a teaspoon of cinnamon and a tablespoon of sugar to enhance their natural sweetness and release their juices.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to evenly distribute the warm spices and leavening agents.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, beat softened butter with brown sugar until fluffy and light, which creates the perfect texture base for the cookies.
  4. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing well to combine all flavors and build richness.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet, stirring gently to form a soft dough without overmixing, keeping the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in Peaches: Carefully fold the spiced peaches into the dough, distributing them evenly while preserving the dough’s structure.
  7. Bake: Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set but still soft.

Notes

  • Use fresh peaches to provide juiciness and authentic flavor that canned peaches can’t match.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and tender.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
  • Lightly press dough balls to help cookies bake evenly and keep peaches intact.
  • Watch the oven carefully and set a timer to avoid overbaking; this keeps cookies moist and chewy.
