Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned, drained)
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined, then set aside.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create tender cookies.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, ensuring a smooth batter.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in peaches, oats, and pecans: Carefully fold in the diced peaches, oats, and pecans if using, preserving the tender texture and distributing the ingredients evenly.
- Shape cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers appear set.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh peaches in season; canned peaches work well if drained thoroughly.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help control spreading if desired.
- Oats add chewiness—feel free to substitute with quick oats if preferred but expect a slightly different texture.
- Omit pecans for a nut-free version or substitute with walnuts or almonds.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
