Preparation:

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches and chopped pecans or walnuts, if using.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
