Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

1 1/2 cups fresh diced peaches
2 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp lemon juice
Pinch of fine sea salt
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp water
7 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
3.5 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1 whole large egg (room temperature)
1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (see notes below for measuring)
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1/2 cup coarse cane sugar (for rolling)
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon (for rolling)
4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Cook the Peaches: In a pot, combine the peaches, 2 tbsp sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the peaches are juicy and starting to thicken (about 15-20 minutes). Mash them until jammy and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool.
Mix the Dough: Cream together the butter, cream cheese, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then, mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm it up.
Prepare Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, mix the coarse cane sugar and 3/4 tsp cinnamon.
Scoop & Shape: Scoop 2 tbsp-sized balls of dough into the sugar mixture, coating them well. Place on a parchment-lined tray, leaving 1-2 inches apart.
Fill & Chill: Use the back of a measuring spoon to make an indent in each dough ball. Fill with a teaspoon of peach filling. Chill in the freezer for 3-4 hours (overnight is best).
Make Crumb Topping: Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. For the topping, mix together butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 3/4 tsp cinnamon until crumbs form. Bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Cool, then break into smaller pieces.
Bake Cookies: Press cinnamon crumbs on top of each cookie. Bake for 12-13 minutes. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with more crumbs. Cool on a wire rack completely.
Whip Up a Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Spoon a little more peach filling on top of cookies and drizzle glaze over them. Enjoy!
Store Leftovers: Keep cookies in an airtight container for 2-3 days, either at room temperature or in the fridge. Let them come to room temperature before enjoying.

How to Make Peach Cobbler Cookies (Overview)

Making these cookies is as easy as pie—err, cookie! Start by simmering your fresh peaches into a glorious filling. While that’s cooling, whip up your dough until it’s light and fluffy. After chilling, shape your cookies and fill them with that juicy peach goodness. A sprinkle of cinnamon crumbs before baking adds a gorgeous texture. Just think of all the delightfully crispy edges when they come out of the oven! Pro tip: Don’t skip chilling the dough—trust me, it makes all the difference!

How to Serve Peach Cobbler Cookies

Serve these cookies warm for a delicious treat. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic contrast of temperatures.

How to Store Peach Cobbler Cookies

These cookies last for 2-3 days in an airtight container in the fridge—if they last that long! For longer storage, freeze them individually and pop them in the microwave for a warm treat anytime. Just heat for about 10-15 seconds and enjoy that soft, peachy goodness!

Tips to Make Peach Cobbler Cookies

Fresh Or Frozen Peaches: Fresh peaches bring out the best flavor, but frozen works in a pinch! Just thaw them out first.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for smooth mixing—cold ingredients can lead to a lumpy cookie.
Chill Times: Don’t rush the chilling process; it ensures the cookies hold their shape and remain soft inside.

Variation

Want to mix it up? Swap the peaches for apricots or even berries for a fruity twist. Going vegan? Replace the butter with coconut oil and use a flax egg instead of the regular eggs. The world is your cookie!

FAQs

Absolutely! Just drain them well and adjust the sugar to taste.

How long can I freeze these cookies?
