What Are Peach Cobbler Cookies?
Peach cobbler cookies adapt a traditional peach cobbler recipe into bite-sized cookies that are easy to eat on the go. These cookies are made with a buttery, cinnamon-flavored dough infused with chunks of ripe peaches. When baked, these confections are soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside for a flavorful, toothsome bite. These fruity sugar cookies are ready in under an hour, providing a simple-to-bake sweet treat for peach season and beyond. Eat these cookies alone, or sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream in between two for a summery ice cream sandwich.
3 Tips for Making Peach Cobbler Cookies
Follow these tips to learn how to make the best peach cobbler cookies you can.
- 1. Fresh fruit is best. Using fresh, ripe peaches in this recipe will yield the best possible flavor. If fresh fruit isn’t available, you can use canned peaches in juice or frozen peaches instead. If you choose to use canned peaches, make sure to thoroughly drain the liquid out of your fruit before you incorporate it into the batter. If you’re using frozen peaches, allow the peaches to thaw completely before adding them to the dough.
- 2. Add your favorite spices and nuts. Feel free to change up the flavors of this simple cookie recipe by swapping in warm, fall-friendly spices like ginger, mace, and allspice. You can also add nuts like pecans, walnuts, or slivered almonds to the cookie dough for texture and a slightly savory flavor.
- 3. Freeze to bake them at another time. These moist, fruity cookies won’t last for much longer than five days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. However, you can freeze the raw dough for an easy make-ahead treat, or simply freeze the baked cookies. Cool your pre-baked cookies completely before stacking and freezing them in an airtight storage bag. You can also form the raw cookie dough into balls and freeze them solid in layers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, then store them in a freezer bag.
