Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened: Provides richness and a tender texture.
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar: Adds sweetness and helps create a crisp exterior.
1/2 cup brown sugar: Enhances moisture and adds a caramel-like flavor.
2 large eggs: Binds the ingredients and adds structure.
1 tsp vanilla extract: Adds a warm, aromatic flavor.
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour: The base of the cookie dough.
1 tsp baking soda: Helps the cookies rise and spread.
1/2 tsp salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances flavors.
1 cup diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained): Adds juicy, fruity bursts of flavor.
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional): Complements the peach flavor with a hint of warmth.
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced peaches and cinnamon (if using). Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop and Bake
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Cool and Serve
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success
Peach Preparation: If using fresh peaches, peel and dice them into small pieces. If using canned peaches, ensure they are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Serving Suggestion: Pair these cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat
