Description
Peach cookies are a delightful treat that blends the sweetness of ripe peaches with a buttery, cinnamon-infused dough. Perfect for any summer gathering or cozy dessert.
Ingredients
2 ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped peaches, making sure not to overmix.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on wire racks before serving.
Notes
To prevent sogginess, pat the chopped peaches dry with a paper towel before adding them to the dough.
If using canned peaches, make sure to drain them well and pat them dry.
These cookies freeze well for up to 3 months.
You can add rolled oats or nuts like walnuts or pecans for variation.
Try adding other spices like nutmeg or ginger to customize the flavor.
For softer cookies, avoid overmixing the dough and don’t bake for too long.
