Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 cup diced fresh peaches (or canned peaches, drained and patted dry)
Cookie Base Ingredients:
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (110 grams) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¼ cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumb Topping:
- ¼ cup (31 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to ensure non-stick surface and even baking.
- Create the crumbly topping by combining flour, sugar, and cinnamon, then integrate cold butter using fingertips or fork until the mixture develops a coarse, sandy texture.
- Craft the cookie base by whipping softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes airy and pale, indicating proper incorporation.
- Introduce egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, blending until smooth and uniform in consistency.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring minimally to maintain a tender texture.
- Gently incorporate diced peaches into the cookie dough, distributing fruit evenly without overmixing.
- Form cookie dough into 1 1/2-inch spheres, positioning them strategically on prepared baking sheets with adequate spacing to allow spreading.
- Delicately press each cookie and generously sprinkle the reserved crumb topping across the surface.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for golden-tinged edges and slightly soft centers, which will solidify during cooling.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Serve either warm or at room temperature, storing any remaining cookies in an airtight container for optimal freshness over 3 days.
Notes
- Select ripe, fragrant peaches for maximum flavor and sweetness in your cookies.
- Drain diced peaches thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from making the cookie dough soggy.
- Chop peaches into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution and consistent texture throughout the cookies.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help prevent spreading and maintain the cookies’ shape.
