Last week was peach cobbler day, which means it’s the perfect season for any peach dish. I have never been a huge fan of fruit pies, so although I knew I could make a good peach cobbler dish, I wasn’t sure if I would actually like it myself. Altering the classic recipe, I made a peach cobbler cookie, something that for me balances the fruit versus pastry in a dish like this. It is absolutely delish.
So if you are a peach cobbler lover, looking for an easier peach cobbler recipe or haven’t been a huge fan of fruity desserts like me, then this dessert might be perfect for you. These peach cobbler cookies are made with a slightly crumbly cookie and soft center that is filled with tender, gooey peach filling. Of course these aren’t finished without a sweet cinnamon glaze to top. Eating these while warm will give you the best feeling, especially if you top it with a scoop of ice cream. Are you excited?… I AM! So let’s get into it…

Ingredients
- Cookie Dough
1/2 cup unsalted butter, browned
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- Peach Filing
2 cans peach filling, rinsed and strained
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the browned butter. Whisk in the white and brown sugars, mixing until combined.
- Then crack in both eggs, along with adding the vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.
- Pour in all the dry ingredients of flour, baking soda, powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Use a rubber spatula to fold the batter together until a thick dough forms. It might not fully form by folding, so when it becomes large crumbles, use clean hands to press the mixture together until it combines into a dough.
- Use a 2 inch scooper to make balls off the cinnamon dough and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Place each dough ball about 2 inches apart from eachother.
- Then use your fingers to create a well in the middle of each dough ball, also pressing the cookies down slightly.
- Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until the cookies have spread and crinkled at the edges. The edge of the cookies with also be slightly golden.
- Peach Filling
- While the cookies bake, strain the canned peaches in a strainer, rinsing off the thick peach sauce surrounding them. Continue doing this until they are clean. Transfer the peaches to saucepan.
- In the saucepan add all the sugars, wet ingredients and dry ingredients at once. That is the white sugar, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon juice, water, vanilla, and cornstarch.
- Place over medium heat on the stove and stir together until combined.
- As the peach filling heats up it will become thicker. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring every minute or so to prevent sticking and combine the ingredients evenly.
- As the mixture becomes hot and the peaches soften event more, use the utensil you are stirring with to break the peaches into smaller chunks.
- Once the mixture has boiled and thickened, remove from the heat to cool.
- Assembling Peach Cobbler Cookies
- Once the cookies are done, remove from the oven and use the back of a spoon to press the cookies down again where you made wells before baking, to make sure there is space for the peach filling.
- Place peach filling into the center of each cookie to fill the well's size.
- Quickly whip up the glaze in a small bowl. Add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and milk all at once. Whisk until combined, and then rapidly to remove any clumps.
- Drizzle this cinnamon glaze on top of the peach cobbler cookies with a spoon or by dragging the whisk across the top of the cookies diagonally.
- Serve these cookies and enjoy! These are best topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and eaten while still warm.
