My family loves peaches! I love that this cookie recipe really showcases peach flavors. I find the flavors, like the fruit, hit somewhere between summer and fall and are simultaneously full of bright fruit flavor and a warm, comforting dessert.

Ingredients for Peach Cobbler Cookies

Butter: You need ½ cup of salted butter, softened, for this cookie recipe.

Sugars: Use ½ cup of each light brown sugar and white granulated sugar.

Egg: Bind the ingredients with 1 large egg.

Extract: Enhance the flavors by adding 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the dough.

Flour: The base of this cookie recipe is 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour.

Leavening agents: Help the cookies rise as they bake by using ¾ tsp of baking powder and ½ tsp of baking soda.

Peach Filling

Peaches: For the delicious cookie filling, you will need 1 ½ cups of canned peach halves.

Brown sugar: Mix the peaches with ¾ cup of light brown sugar.

Streusel topping

Butter: Use ¼ cup of salted butter, softened, for a rich cookie topping.

Brown sugar: Sweeten the streusel with 1 cup of light brown sugar.

Flour: Also include ¼ cup of all-purpose flour in the mixture.

Optional: add in ¼ tsp cinnamon!

Tips for making Peach Cookies with Streusel Topping

Full instructions in the recipe card below, but here are a few tips for making the baking process simpler!

Canned peaches: We got a 29 oz can of peach halves for this recipe and used about ⅔ of them. Make sure you drain the pieces as much as possible before adding them to the pot. Any extra liquid that is added is going to increase the amount of time it takes for the cobbler filling to cook.
Fresh peaches: If you have fresh peaches then you can use those instead. The end result will be very similar. Just make sure you use ripe peaches so that it’s full of flavor!
Add Spice if you like! One of our favorite modifications to these cookies is adding 1/4 tsp cinnamon to the streusel. The warm spice of the cinnamon pairs great with the light sweetness of the peaches. Or for some extra texture, you can add ¼ cup of old fashioned oats to your streusel topping as well.

How long are these good for & how do you store them?

Store your peach cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Keeping them airtight will preserve their freshness and keep them from drying out. They will stay fresh for up to 4 days.

If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate the cookies for up to one week, but allow them to come to room temperature before eating for the best texture and flavor.

You can enjoy these cookies at room temperature, cold, or reheated in the microwave for about 10 seconds.

Can you freeze peach cookies?

Yes, you can freeze fully baked and cooled peach cookies. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.

They will keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough:

½ cup salted butter softened
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup white granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda

Peach Filling:

1 ½ cups canned peach halves
¾ cup light brown sugar

Streusel topping:

¼ cup salted butter softened
1 cup light brown sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp cinnamon optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat and set aside.
Prepare your cookie dough first. Combine the salted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer on medium high speed, cream the ingredients together until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla. Whisk again until the egg is fully incorporated. Gently whisk in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Make sure no pockets of dry ingredients remain in the cookie dough.
Drop balls of cookie dough onto a large baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. As soon as your cookies come out of the oven, use a small dish or the back of a spoon to create a small indent in the center of each cookie. Let your cookies cool while you prepare the filling.
Dice the peaches and then add them to a pot with brown sugar. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture starts to bubble.
In a small bowl, whisk together the softened butter, flour, and brown sugar. Top each cookie with a spoonful of filling followed by a sprinkle of the streusel mixture. Bake your cookies for another 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

Store your peach cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 4 days.

If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate the cookies for up to one week, but allow them to come to room temperature before eating for the best texture and flavor.

Nutrition

How do you serve these peach cobbler cookies?

These cookies are great served on their own or paired with a scoop of ice cream.

Can I substitute canned peaches with fresh ones for the filling?

Fresh peaches can be used if peeled, pitted, and diced. Since fresh peaches contain more water, cook them slightly longer to reduce excess moisture.

Adjust the cooking time when simmering with brown sugar to reach the right filling consistency.

Can I swap the peaches for a different fruit topping?

You can replace peaches with similar fruits like nectarines, apricots, or plums. These fruits should be prepared in the same way—diced and cooked with brown sugar.

Keep in mind that fruit firmness and moisture content may slightly alter the baking time and texture.
