Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups diced fresh or canned peaches (drained)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
Spices and Leavening:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional and Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie baking.
- Combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl, whipping until the mixture becomes airy and pale.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, then blend in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Separately, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Merge dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to create a cohesive cookie dough without overmixing.
- Delicately fold diced peaches and white chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Portion cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, maintaining approximately 2 inches of space between each dollop to allow proper spreading.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until cookie edges turn golden brown and centers appear fully set.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for several minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Prepare a smooth glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- Artfully drizzle the glaze over completely cooled cookies, creating an elegant finishing touch.
Notes
- Soft peaches work best when they’re ripe but still firm, ensuring your cookies don’t become too mushy during baking.
- Use fresh summer peaches for maximum flavor and natural sweetness, which elevates the entire cookie experience.
- Pat diced peaches dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture from making cookies soggy and spreading too thin.
- White chocolate can be optional or swapped with chopped nuts like almonds for added crunch and different texture profile.
