How to Make It

2. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl: Combine flour, baking soda, and salt, whisking until evenly mixed.

3. Cream butter and sugars in a separate bowl: Use an electric mixer to beat the butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy.
4. Add egg and vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. The mixture should look smooth and creamy.
5. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Fold in peaches: Gently incorporate the diced peaches, careful not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
7. Prepare topping: In a small bowl, mix rolled oats and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture over the cookie dough before baking.
