These chewy peaches and cream cookies combine juicy fresh peaches with a tender, creamy dough for a perfect spring treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 2 medium peaches)
  • Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold in the diced peaches and optional cinnamon or nutmeg.
  7. Drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets using a tablespoon or cookie scoop.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid soggy dough. Pat peaches dry if they release too much juice. Do not overmix dough to keep cookies tender. Chilling dough for 15 minutes can help control spreading. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and heavy cream with coconut cream.
