Optional Substitutions:
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- If you’re dairy-free, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative.
- Use coconut sugar in place of granulated sugar for a lower glycemic option.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the cookie dough.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Don’t overmix the dough; it should just come together.
