Soft and Buttery Peach Cookies
Soft, buttery peach cookies made with fresh peaches and simple pantry ingredients. These tender cookies are packed with juicy peach flavour and are perfect for summer desserts, afternoon snacks, or holiday cookie trays
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- 1½ cups fresh peaches finely diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wash, peel if desired, dice the peaches into small pieces, and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Gently fold the diced peaches into the dough until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centres remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Pat the peaches dry to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
- Do not overmix after adding the peaches.
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months.
- Fresh peaches provide the best flavour, but frozen peaches can be used after thawing and draining well.
