Let’s Make it together
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare Peaches: Wash and chop 2-3 ripe peaches into small pieces. Ensure there are no large chunks to maintain cookie texture.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of softened unsalted butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3–5 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of salt until combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture while stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
Fold in Peaches: Gently fold in your chopped peaches until evenly distributed throughout the dough—this will make each bite fruity and delicious!
Scoop Dough onto Sheets: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until edges turn golden brown but centers remain slightly soft—this ensures chewiness!
Cool Down: Remove from oven and let cool on sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy Your Creation! Once cooled, grab some friends or family members because these Peach Cobbler Cookies are perfect for sharing (or not!).
