Description
Soft, chewy cookies bursting with juicy peaches and warm cinnamon, capturing all the comforting flavors of classic peach cobbler in a delightful handheld treat.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned, drained)
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in the diced peaches, oats, and pecans if using, being careful not to overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a nut-free version, omit the pecans or substitute with walnuts if preferred.
Use canned peaches if fresh are unavailable, but be sure to drain well.
Adding shredded coconut or substituting half the oats with crushed graham crackers adds extra texture.
Mixing in white chocolate chips creates a sweet contrast.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days with a slice of bread to keep them soft.
Freeze for up to 2 months; reheat gently in the microwave or oven to refresh softness.
Pat diced peaches dry before folding in to prevent excess moisture.
Vegan version: use plant-based butter and a flax or other egg substitute.
