Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 cup diced fresh peaches (or canned, drained)
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C), ensuring an optimal baking temperature.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly combine softened unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars, whipping until the mixture achieves a light, airy consistency.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending until the ingredients are harmoniously integrated.
- Create a separate mixture by whisking flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg, ensuring even distribution of dry components.
- Gently merge the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Delicately fold fresh diced peaches and optional chopped pecans into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Using a tablespoon, carefully deposit rounded dollops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, maintaining consistent spacing.
- Transfer the cookie sheet to the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until the cookie edges transform into a golden-brown hue.
- Extract the baking sheet from the oven and transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, allowing them to reach room temperature and set completely.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh peaches for the most vibrant flavor and juiciest texture in your cookies.
- Drain excess peach juice to prevent soggy cookie dough and ensure a perfect consistency.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help cookies maintain their shape and prevent spreading.
- For a gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
