# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
06 - Gently fold in white chocolate chips and diced peaches.
07 - Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.
09 - Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The sour cream trick makes these impossibly soft while keeping the peach chunks juicy but not messy
  • White chocolate was practically invented for peaches, and once you taste this combination you'll wonder why it's not everywhere
02 -
  • Overly ripe peaches will make your cookies gummy and dense, so choose fruit that gives slightly but still holds its shape when diced
  • Patting the peach pieces dry with paper towels is not optional unless you want soggy cookies with weird wet spots
03 -
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if your kitchen is warm to prevent excessive spreading
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing so everything bakes evenly and looks professionally made
