Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Peaches and Add-ins: Carefully fold in the diced peaches, white chocolate chips, and chopped pecans if using, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
- Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe but firm peaches to ensure they hold their shape in the cookies.
- White chocolate chips and pecans are optional but recommended for added texture and flavor.
- Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to keep the cookies tender.
- If fresh peaches are not in season, frozen peaches (thawed and drained) can be used as a substitute.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To refresh the cookies, warm them slightly in the oven or microwave before serving.
