Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Fresh Peaches: Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor; overripe ones can turn mushy in the dough.
- All-Purpose Flour: This is your base; sifting helps achieve a light texture in the cookies.
- Baking Powder: Essential for giving your cookies that lovely lift; don’t skip it!
- Brown Sugar: Adds depth and moisture; dark brown sugar enhances caramel flavors beautifully.
- Cinnamon: Just a pinch brings out the warmth of the peaches; don’t go overboard though!
- Butter: Use unsalted butter for control over saltiness; melting it gives a rich flavor.
- Eggs: Acts as a binding agent; room temperature eggs mix better into your dough.
- Vanilla Extract: A splash elevates everything; choose pure vanilla extract for superior taste.
- Salt: Just a pinch balances sweetness beautifully without overpowering.
- Optional Garnish (Powdered Sugar): A light dusting at the end makes them look extra fancy!

Let’s Make it Together
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This sets the stage for cookie perfection.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined. You want those dry ingredients working together like an army on a mission.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat melted butter with brown sugar until smooth and creamy. The mixture should look glossy and inviting—like liquid gold!
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Blend in eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract until well incorporated. This step adds richness and flavor depth that’s simply divine.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold in dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until no flour streaks remain visible but avoid overmixing!
Add Peaches: Gently fold diced fresh peaches into the dough until evenly distributed. The vibrant orange pieces are going to make your heart sing!
Scoop onto Baking Sheets: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto prepared sheets about 2 inches apart. Give them room because they’re going to spread out!
Bake Away: Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Don’t open that oven door too soon unless you want sad little cookies!
Let them cool slightly before transferring them onto wire racks. The smell? Pure bliss!
Now you have made some mouthwatering Peach Cobbler Cookies! Enjoy every last crumb as they melt effortlessly in your mouth while reminding you of sunny days spent with loved ones.
