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…

Instructions
Make the Peach Filling:
- Drain and rinse the canned peaches to remove excess syrup.
- Chop peaches into small bite-sized pieces if not already diced.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peaches, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
- Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water, then pour into the peach mixture to thicken.
- Simmer another 1–2 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool completely.
Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a small saucepan, brown the butter over medium heat until golden and nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Chill the dough for 10–15 minutes if it’s too soft to handle.
Assemble the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop out 2-tablespoon portions of dough and place on the parchment covered baking sheet, pressing a well into the center of each cookie
- Spoon a couple tablespoons of cooled peach filling into the center.
Bake and Glaze:
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
- Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar and vanilla extract (add a few drops of milk or water if needed for drizzling consistency).
