Why We Love This Recipe
- Peach-filled: They’re made with over a cup of peaches! Peaches add fresh, sweet flavor to every bite. For more fruity cookies, try these white chocolate strawberry cookies and chocoalte chip and orange cookies.
- Soft and Buttery: They are soft and tender just like my Lemon Sour Cream Cookies and Blood Orange Cookies.
- Flavorful: Fresh lemon and warm cinnamon add tons of flavor!
- Simple: The dough comes together in minutes. There’s no chilling required.
Ingredients
- Peaches: You’ll need about 3 medium peaches. I recommend fresh ripe peaches. Ripe peaches have the best flavor and texture and are the most juicy! Have extra peaches? Make this yummy peach cobbler pie. You’ll also love this pear cookie recipe!
- Unsalted butter: Use room temperature unsalted butter.
- Granulated sugar and Brown sugar: Use granulated sugar and either light or dark brown sugar. Make sure your brown sugar is fresh.
- 1 egg: You’ll need 1 large room temperature egg.
- Cream of tartar and baking soda: Cream of tartar and baking soda help the cookies rise and gives them their soft texture. Cream of tartar is also partly what makes Snickerdoodles so soft and delicious!
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds warm flavor. It’s delicious with sweet peaches and is also yummy in these chocolate chip and pecan cookies.
- Lemon juice and lemon zest: For fresh flavor! Be sure to also try these white chocolate chip lemon cookies.
Substitutions & Variations
- If you don’t have cream of tartar, use baking powder in place of the baking soda and cream of tartar.
- I prefer fresh peaches, but canned or frozen peaches can be used. If using canned peaches, drain and pat dry the peaches before chopping them. The cookies may take on some of the flavor from the syrup on canned peaches. For frozen peaches, thaw and drain them first.

Not a fan of lemons, but love peaches! If I were to leave out the juice, what could I substitute it for?
Natalie
Hi Auro!
Happy to hear you are a fan of peaches! You can definitely leave the lemon juice and/or lemon zest out since they are small amounts. No need to substitute them, just omit them 🙂 Hope you enjoy these cookies! lease let me know if you have any other questions. -Natalie
