How to make Sweet Peaches N’ Cream Cookies
Prep
Get started by preheating the oven to 325° F. Then, liberally spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Cookie dough
Next, in a medium size bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together the sugar and butter.
Then add in the egg and vanilla extract, mix again, and add the sour cream, salt, and baking soda. Lastly, add in the flour and beat until smooth.
Bake
Proceed to scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough into each muffin cup. I use a cookie scoop, it makes this process so fast, and I love that all the cookies are uniform size. You should have enough dough to make 24 cookie cups, plus about 6 more cookies. I baked these additional cookies like normal on a cookie sheet.
Place the cookie cups in the preheated oven and bake for 17-18 minutes. Be sure to let the cookies stand for 1-2 minutes after taking them out of the oven.
Shape
Now, spray the round side of a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon with non-stick spray then press down into the center of each cookie to create a well. Then let them cool completely, if you need to hurry this process, feel free to stick the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes.
To take the cookies out of the muffin tin, I just slid the tip of a knife down 1 side and they popped right out.
Filling & topping
Now, spoon about 2 teaspoons of peach pie filling into each cookie cup. If serving immediately, you can top with a dollop of whipped cream. If not, cookies can be completely made and assembled up to 24 hours ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Top with cream just prior to serving.
Serve and enjoy!
What are some variations to this peach cookie recipe?
- One popular variation is to use fresh peaches instead of canned ones. This can be a great option if fresh peaches are in season. Simply peel the peaches, chop them into small pieces and heat them on the stove to cook them until tender.
- Another variation is to add different spices or extracts to the cookie dough. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are all great options that can add depth and complexity to the flavor of the cookies. You can also experiment with different types of sugar, such as brown sugar or honey, to give the cookies a different sweetness.
- For those who prefer a more indulgent treat, you can add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the cookie dough. This will give the cookies a rich, decadent flavor that is perfect for special occasions or as a dessert.
WHEN TO SERVE PEACH PIE COOKIE CUPS?
Summertime and holidays are the perfect time for peach pie, and I found a way to make this traditional treat easier and yummier too! I’ve made these little treats for Thanksgiving and I’ve made them for the 4th of July and they work perfectly for both occasions (and everything in between). I have taken these little treats to lots of parties and everyone always wants the recipe – they are always a big hit! They are perfectly portioned and so easy to serve!
DO YOU NEED TO HEAT THE PEACH PIE FILLING?
Store-bought peach pie filling is already baked, so you do not need to heat the filling before adding to the cookie cups. A lot of readers have asked about this! You can definitely heat the pie filling up if you prefer to warm it up before serving, but it is completely cooked as is.
HOW LONG ARE THESE COOKIES GOOD FOR?
These cookies can be kept stored in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days. To keep the cookies nice and chewy I recommend keeping them stored in the fridge.
