Peach Oatmeal Cookies

It is summer in Georgia, so that means peaches. I have been craving some cookies or sweets to go with my tea. Obviously I had to incorporate the fruit of the state.

This is my last free summer, so I should probably be posting more, but I have been enjoying being lazy. I have been whipping up things, but then I am too lazy to write down the recipes and post them. For this I am sorry. I will get better.

Anyway, back to business. These cookies are very soft and the taste of honey with the peaches is amazing. They do take a bit longer to bake because of the amount of liquid in the batter along with a juicy peach.
