We have a lovely peach orchard only five minutes away from us. Every year we get the most magical peaches. This year I canned many of them, making peach sauce, peach jam and peach pie filling. My mason jars run over with peaches.
Then a friend passed this recipe on too me. Oh no more peach sin. This time in a cookie! You will want to eat these cookies well into fall. They taste just like peach cobbler.
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- ½ c granulated sugar
- ½ c nonfat peach Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ c diced peaches (fresh or canned in juice)
- 1½ c all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 pinches of nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar until a coarse mixture forms. Add in the yogurt and vanilla, stirring well. Mix in the peaches. Lightly spoon the flour into the measuring cups, and mix in along with the baking soda and salt, nutmeg and cinnamon, stirring just until incorporated.
- Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, and bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes, or until just barely set.
- Cool on the pans for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
These make a lovely “hostess gift” if you are attending a BBQ at a friend or family members house. You are going to need milk, thats a given but in a pinch they also pair nice with a nice black tea!
