Tips to Make Peach Snickerdoodle Cookies

Here are a few insider tricks for the best batch:

Use ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor. If fresh isn’t an option, canned works too—just make sure they’re drained well.
Mix it up: Add a touch of almond extract along with the vanilla for a nutty flavor boost.
Don’t forget to measure your flour correctly. Too much can make cookies dry and dense; fluff it up and scoop gently for precision.
