peaches ‘n cream cookies.

These cookies… YUM!  The combination of dried peaches and white chocolate is so so tasty.  I used Kodiak Cakes all-purpose baking mix to add some protein, then mixed in dried peaches and white chocolate chips before baking.  It’s a perfect summer variation of the classic chocolate chip cookie.

Recipe: (makes about 24 cookies)

• 1 & 1/2 cup Kodiak Cakes all-purpose baking mix OR all-purpose flour
• 1 stick butter, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup ground dried peaches (pulsed in a food processor into smaller pieces)
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Whip butter and brown sugar together until fluffy.
3. Add vanilla and egg and mix until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, mix baking mix or flour and baking soda together.
5. Add dry mixture to butter mixture, 1/2 cup at a time and mixing after each addition until everything is just combined.
6. Fold in ground peaches and white chocolate chips.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop your dough onto a baking sheet (12 cookies per sheet), roll into balls and then flatten the top of each ball of dough slightly with your hands.
8. Bake for 9-11 minutes (I usually bake for 9 since I like them softer – you choose!
9. Let cool (or don’t) and devour!
