Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or canned peaches, peeled, diced, and well-drained
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and dice fresh peaches or drain canned peaches thoroughly to minimize extra liquid. Toss the diced peaches lightly with a dash of cinnamon and a small amount of sugar to enhance their natural flavor.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until creamy and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well until completely combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to evenly distribute spices and leavening agents.
  4. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to form a dough. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Fold in the Peaches: Carefully fold the diced peaches into the dough to retain their shape and juicy texture throughout the cookies. Add optional nuts here if using.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them to allow spreading. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.

Notes

  • Use fresh or well-drained canned peaches to prevent excess moisture that causes spreading.
  • Do not overmix the dough; stir just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
  • Chilling the dough before baking helps cookies maintain their shape and enhances flavor melding.
  • Rotate your baking sheet halfway through baking for even coloring.
  • Try adding a pinch of ginger or allspice for a unique flavor twist.
