Dried Peach Oatmeal Cookies

Oatmeal cookies are an absolute classic! While traditional oatmeal cookies contain raisins, we’re switching it up by using our delicious, dried peaches. The dried peaches provide a burst of sweetness and acidity that pairs perfectly with the warmth of the nutmeg and heartiness of the oats. Enjoying this recipe at home?
