Love peach cobbler but want something handheld and easy to share? These Peach Cobbler Cookies are everything you adore about the classic dessert—juicy peaches, warm cinnamon, and a buttery crumble—all in cookie form. Perfect for summer gatherings, holiday cookie swaps, or a cozy afternoon treat.
✅ Ingredients:
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Peach Filling:
- 1 cup fresh or canned peaches, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (to thicken)
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, cold and cubed
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
1. Make the peach filling:
In a small saucepan, combine diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Set aside to cool.
2. Prepare the crumble topping:
In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a fork until crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Make the cookie dough:
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet until combined.
4. Assemble the cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and slightly flatten each one. Use your thumb or spoon to make a small indentation in the center. Fill with 1–2 teaspoons of peach mixture and sprinkle with crumble topping.
5. Bake:
Bake for 12–14 minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Tips:
- Fresh peaches are great, but canned or frozen (thawed) peaches work too!
- Want extra flavor? Add a pinch of nutmeg to the dough.
- For a drizzle, mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla, then lightly glaze the cooled cookies.
Peach Cobbler Cookies bring comfort and nostalgia in every bite. Soft, sweet, and perfectly spiced—they’re like little bites of summer, any time of year. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or enjoy with tea for a sweet Southern moment.
