Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) fresh peaches, finely diced
- 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
- Pinch (0.5g) of nutmeg
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large (50g) egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
Instructions:
- Combine diced peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture transforms into a thick, jammy concentrate. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly. Once the butter foams and shifts to a deep mahogany-brown with a nutty aroma, remove immediately from heat to prevent burning.
- Cream the browned butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully emulsified.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the cooled peach reduction until evenly distributed.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Scoop 2 tbsp portions onto parchment paper and bake for 13 minutes until edges are golden.
