Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced (peeled if desired)
Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- White chocolate drizzle
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Hand or stand mixer
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Step 5: Fold in the Peaches
Gently fold the diced peaches into the cookie dough. Be careful not to overmix to avoid breaking down the peaches.
Step 6: Scoop and Shape
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underdone, but they’ll set as they cool.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with white chocolate if desired.
Tips
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
- If fresh peaches are unavailable, canned peaches (drained and patted dry) can be substituted.
- Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
These gooey peach cookies are a delightful twist on traditional cookies, offering the perfect balance of sweetness and fruitiness. Whether served warm from the oven or enjoyed later, these cookies will quickly become a household favorite. Give them a try and savor the taste of summer in every bite!
