The Cookie Dough Base
- 8 Tbsp salted butter, room temperature (soft and spreadable)
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed (deep, chewy, molasses-like texture)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adds sweetness & spread)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (provides structure)
- 1 tsp sea salt (balances sweetness)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (warmth & aroma)
- 1 tsp baking powder (lift & tenderness)
The Flavorful Mix-Ins
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced 1/4-inch (pat dry to remove excess moisture)
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped (toasty, buttery crunch)
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (creamy sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat & prep peaches: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large cookie sheets with parchment. Dice peaches into 1/4-inch pieces and gently pat dry; measure about 1 cup.
- Cream butter & sugars: In a large bowl with a mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add egg & vanilla: Mix in egg and vanilla just until combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, sea salt, cinnamon, and baking powder. On low speed, add to wet ingredients just until a soft dough forms; do not overmix.
- Fold in mix-ins: Using a spatula, gently fold in peaches, pecans, and white chocolate chips. Dough will be thick and chunky.
- Scoop & bake: Scoop 2 oz (about 2 heaping Tbsp) mounds onto sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. For a bakery look, press a few extra chips or pecans on top. Bake 20–25 minutes until edges turn light golden and centers look set and puffy.
- Cool for perfect texture: Cool on the hot sheet 5–10 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Why the longer bake? Fresh peaches add moisture. A gentle 20–25 minute bake cooks the centers through without burning the bottoms. If dough seems too soft, chill 20 minutes before scooping.
