Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and sugar, and cream them together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Step 3: Incorporate the Peaches
Gently fold in the diced peaches into the cookie dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Shape the Cookies
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each one to allow for spreading.
Step 5: Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once cooled, serve the cookies as a delightful treat or dessert.
