Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Add-ins
- 1 cup canned peach slices, drained and chopped into small pieces
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Incorporate Peaches and Other Ingredients: Gently fold in the chopped peaches, rolled oats, and nuts (if using) into the dough, resulting in a thick and slightly sticky consistency.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten the Cookies (Optional): If desired, gently press down the tops of the cookies with the back of a spoon for a slightly flatter shape.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the cookies have set.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy these soft, chewy Peach Cobbler Cookies with a glass of milk or as a delightful snack or dessert!
Notes
- You can substitute fresh peaches if in season, just make sure they are chopped small and not overly juicy to prevent soggy cookies.
- To keep the cookies soft, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts.
- Adjust the spices (cinnamon and nutmeg) to your preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
- These cookies freeze well; freeze baked cookies in a single layer then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
