Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
Sweeteners and Binding:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie release.
- Create a creamy base by thoroughly blending softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes light and airy, developing a smooth texture.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter mixture, ensuring complete integration after each addition, then infuse with vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Combine dry ingredients separately, whisking flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and seasoning.
- Gradually merge dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to maintain a delicate consistency without overmixing.
- Carefully fold fresh, ripe peaches into the cookie dough, distributing fruit pieces evenly to guarantee a balanced peach presence in each bite.
- Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, creating uniform mounds spaced adequately to allow proper spreading during baking.
- Dust each cookie generously with a cinnamon sugar blend, creating a caramelized, aromatic exterior.
- Bake until cookie edges transform into a golden-brown hue, typically requiring 12-15 minutes of oven time.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest momentarily on the baking sheet to stabilize, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and texture setting.
Notes
- Choose perfectly ripe peaches for maximum flavor and sweetness in your cookies.
- Pat peaches dry after slicing to prevent excess moisture from making cookies soggy.
- Consider using frozen peaches if fresh are unavailable, but thaw and drain thoroughly before adding.
- Adjust baking time slightly for smaller or larger cookie sizes to ensure even baking.
