- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (No direct substitution suggested.)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (No direct substitution suggested.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Can be omitted for a lower sodium option.)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (May use margarine or coconut oil but will alter taste slightly.)
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar (White sugar can be used but results in a drier texture.)
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (No direct substitution suggested.)
- 1 large Egg (Flax egg for vegan version (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water).)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Almond extract can be used for a different flavor profile.)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you gather your ingredients.
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture gradually until just mixed.
- Fold in the fresh peaches and white chocolate chips carefully.
- Scoop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers are glossy but not completely set.
- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant touch before serving.
