How to make Snickerdoodles with peaches
Prep
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Then, spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper or silicon mat.
Also prepare the peaches, if you are using fresh, wash, pit and slice them into small bite sized chunks. If you are using canned peaches, cut them into small pieces. Set aside.
Cookie dough & topping
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together to create the sweet topping. Set aside.
Next, in a separate medium size bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy (1-2 minutes). Then, add in the egg and vanilla extract, stir to combine and then set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. After that, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together on low speed until well combined.
Lastly, gently fold in the peaches just until combined.
Topping
Proceed to take 1-2 tablespoons of dough (depending on how big you want to make the cookies) and roll into a ball. Then, roll the dough balls in the topping mixture and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake
Bake for 10 minutes and then cool for about 10 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy!

Nutrition
HOW LONG ARE THESE PEACH SNICKERDOODLES GOOD FOR?
I recommend eating these cookies within 3-5 days for the best tasting results. You can keep them stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days, but eating these cookies sooner means they will taste so much better. Yum!
CAN I FREEZE THESE SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES?
Yes, these cookies can be frozen. Simply place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before eating by placing a cookie (or more) on the counter for about 30 minutes to come to room temperature.

Yum!! These are a great twist on snickerdoodles. I need to try them. 🙂
Kaity says
These are AWESOME. The peach season hasn’t been great this year and my boyfriend’s favorite cookie is snickerdoodles so finding this recipe recently posted was quite serendipitous. My twist is using 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar, and I found they needed 13-14 minutes in my oven; they were still delightfully soft and chewy. Thanks!
Jessica says
So glad you enjoyed them Kaity!

Can the dough be frozen?
Nellie says
I’m not sure – I’ve never tried, but I imagine it would work fine. Please let me know if you give it a try!
Wendy Neugebauer says
I wonder if drained canned peaches might work? I have a lot of canned peaches and was looking for a way to use them. Any idea?
Jessica says
Drain them well and that should be fine! You can always compensate by adding a bit more flour!
Lee says
Can you use frozen peaches?
Nellie says
I haven’t tried using frozen peaches in this recipe, but I would guess they would work just fine!
Kaitlyn says
Great recipe! I love these. Had best luck with 13 minutes in the convection oven. Also, the dough seemed a bit wet so I stuck the cookies in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking. Came out great!
Jessica says
So glad you liked it!
