First Class Peach and Spice Oatmeal Cookies

By mitzzy

Spice, oatmeal, brown sugar and chunks of dried peaches. I sampled a commercial version of these on an Air Canada flight a few years ago. I rushed out of Customs as soon as I landed, dove into the BB test kitchen and replicated these amazing peach cookies. They were so good they almost made me forget my fear of flying. Here's the recipe - no passport needed. Make them small for the holidays. This is one of BB's most 'hit on' recipes of all time.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups brown sugar - packed
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• pinch (each) mace and ginger
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups oatmeal
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2 cups dried peaches - diced (if they are not moist, plump them in hot water, dry and dice)
