Introduction

Peach Cobbler Cookies combine the classic flavors of a peach cobbler with the convenience of a cookie. Originating from the Southern United States, peach cobbler is a beloved dessert known for its juicy peaches and buttery crust. These cookies capture the essence of that traditional dessert, making them perfect for any occasion.

I remember the first time I tried peach cobbler at my grandmother’s house. The aroma of fresh peaches and cinnamon filled the kitchen, and it was love at first bite. These cookies bring back those fond memories, and I’m excited to share this recipe with you.

To prepare this comforting recipe, you’ll need:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup diced fresh peaches
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated sugar for topping

How to Make Peach Cobbler Cookies

Follow these steps to create your own delicious Peach Cobbler Cookies:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced peaches.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the cookie dough.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Helpful Tips

Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
Don’t overmix the dough; it should just come together.

Cooking Tips

For a burst of extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the dough.
Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform-sized cookies.
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent spreading.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Pair them with a cup of hot tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon treat.
Arrange the cookies on a decorative plate for an appealing presentation.
