Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and finely diced
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided (1 tablespoon reserved for tossing peaches)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel and finely dice fresh peaches. Toss them lightly in 1 tablespoon of flour to absorb excess juice, preventing soggy cookies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the spices and leavening.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, cream softened butter with brown sugar until fluffy and pale. Then beat in the egg and vanilla extract to add richness and moisture.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to keep the cookies tender and soft.
- Fold in Peaches: Gently fold in the floured peach pieces, ensuring even distribution without breaking down the fruit too much.
- Bake: Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers look set but soft.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
- Mix dough just until ingredients come together to avoid tough cookies.
- Toss peaches in flour to prevent sogginess.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to improve handling and flavor melding.
- Remove cookies when centers are set but soft for a chewy texture.
