Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh or canned peaches, peeled, diced, and well drained

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and dice fresh peaches into small cubes or drain canned peaches thoroughly to remove excess moisture that could make the dough soggy. Set these aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to ensure an even distribution of spices and leavening agents.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy, which is vital for the cookies’ tender texture.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture, then gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain a soft dough.
  5. Fold in the Peaches: Gently fold the diced peaches into the dough, taking care not to crush them and to evenly distribute their juicy sweetness.
  6. Shape and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you prefer thicker cookies.
  • Ensure your oven is at a consistent temperature for even baking.
  • Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg quantities to suit your taste preferences.
