  1. Sorry. As cookies these were dreadful! Bake them as muffins and they are better. Sadly,I feel as if I wasted the peaches on this recipe...
     
  2. These cookies are good when they are just out of the oven. But they get very very soft the next day - so much so that I won't call them cookies anymore.
     
  3. Delicious! These were a nice light, cake type cookie. Not overly sweet with a hint of tart from the peaches. I loved the subtle spice flavors. I added a t. of vanilla and passed on the raisins, only baked a few off and then froze the rest of the dough. They were done at 20 mins. I'm not sure if I would want to bake many of these at one time and try to store them. They are so moist that they would probably stick together. I'll have to try and see if storing them layered with wax paper between the layers would work. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe.
     
  4. Perfect little dessert for a summer bbq! Easy to put together and taste like a little bite of peach cobbler. Skipped the raisins, also subbed some ginger for the cinnamon (someone has an allergy, I would have loved the cinnamon). Will make again.
     
  5. In response to Auntkeds - 3 medium peaches is approximately 2 to 2 1/4 cups peeled and chopped fresh peaches. <br/>I'm making these for our open house (we are selling our house) from the peaches off of our peach tree in the back yard. I did add vanilla and left out the raisins (didn't have any on hand). This is exactly what I was looking for in a peach cookie!
