Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh or canned peaches drained well if canned
For the Crumble Topping
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Mixer (optional, or by hand)
  • Fork or Pastry Cutter
  • Tablespoon Scoop
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Step 3: In a larger bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Step 4: Gradually add the flour mixture from Step 2 to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed or by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold in the finely chopped peaches.
  6. Step 6: In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter pieces using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Step 7: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
  8. Step 8: Generously sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the top of each cookie dough scoop. You can pat it down gently.
  9. Step 9: Bake for about 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the crumble is set and slightly browned.
  10. Step 10: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them carefully to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Substitutions & Additions: Try finely diced apples (lightly sautéed) or berries instead of peaches. Swap flour for a gluten-free blend. Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble. Drizzle cooled cookies with a powdered sugar glaze.
Tips for Success: Ensure cookie dough butter is softened but crumble butter is cold. Drain peaches very well. Don't overmix the cookie dough. Watch the oven closely; start checking around 10 minutes. Let cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before moving.
Storage: Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Freeze baked cookies in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. You can also freeze raw cookie dough balls and bake from frozen (add crumble partway through baking or thaw slightly).
