Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Let’s get baking with these Irresistible Peach Cobbler Cookies:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set this aside for later.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. The fluffier your butter and sugar mixture, the lighter your cookies will be!

Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. You should have a smooth, creamy mixture.

Step 5: Fold in the Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough at this stage.

Step 6: Prepare the Peaches

Chop your canned peach slices into small pieces. Toss them gently in 1 tablespoon of flour. This step helps to prevent the peach pieces from sinking to the bottom of the cookies while baking. Fold the peaches into the cookie dough, followed by the quick oats and white chocolate chips (if using).

Step 7: Scoop the Dough

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8: Bake the Cookies

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The cookies will firm up as they cool, but they’ll remain soft and chewy inside.

Step 9: Cool and Serve

Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10: Enjoy!

Grab a glass of milk (or a scoop of ice cream) and enjoy your delicious, peachy cookies! These are perfect for a sweet snack, a dessert, or just whenever you want a taste of summer in cookie form.
