Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup chopped peaches
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the large egg to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat until well combined. Make sure the egg is fully incorporated before moving on to the next step.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
- Fold in the chopped peaches gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Once all the dough has been portioned out, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delectable peach oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- • For the most flavorful cookies, use fresh, ripe peaches at the peak of their season. If fresh peaches aren't available, you can substitute with high-quality canned or frozen peaches (just be sure to drain them well). • Make sure your butter is softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture and helps ingredients blend smoothly. • Don't overmix the dough! Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender and soft. • For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough. This helps ensure even baking and consistent size. • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents breaking. • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage. • Pro tip: Slightly underbake the cookies for an extra soft and chewy texture - they'll continue to set as they cool.
