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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined. Set aside this mixture.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter with the packed brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well incorporated, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in peaches and extras: Gently fold in the peeled and diced fresh peaches along with the optional white chocolate chips and chopped pecans, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough without mashing the peaches.
- Form cookies: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden and the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to preserve texture and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh ripe peaches that are firm yet juicy to maintain texture during baking.
- White chocolate chips and chopped pecans are optional but add delightful sweetness and crunch.
- You can substitute rolled oats with quick oats if preferred, but rolled oats provide better texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- To ensure even baking, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and give enough space between cookies.
