Peach Cobbler Cookies are a soft, chewy, and sweet treat inspired by the comforting flavors of classic peach cobbler. They’re loaded with juicy peach bits, warm cinnamon, and just the right hint of brown sugar—capturing all the goodness of a summer dessert in a handheld cookie. I love how they bring cozy and fruity together in one irresistible bite.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I like this recipe because it tastes like peach cobbler but skips the baking dish and spoon. The cookies are easy to make, full of flavor, and perfect for packing up for picnics, potlucks, or just enjoying with a cup of coffee. They’ve got that soft center I love in cookies, with golden edges and bursts of fresh or juicy peach flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

All-purpose flour
Baking soda
Baking powder
Ground cinnamon
Salt
Unsalted butter, softened
Brown sugar
Granulated sugar
Egg
Vanilla extract
Fresh or canned peaches, finely chopped
Cornstarch (optional, to coat peaches and prevent sogginess)
Optional: white chocolate chips or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top

Directions

I preheat the oven and line my baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, I whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, I cream the butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
I mix in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
I gently fold in the dry ingredients, mixing just until the dough forms.
If my peaches are very juicy, I toss them in a bit of cornstarch before folding them into the dough. I stir them in gently so the dough doesn’t get too wet.
I scoop the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
I bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
I let them cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 20 cookies.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 10–12 minutes
Total time: Around 25 minutes

Variations

Sometimes I add a handful of chopped pecans for crunch or a few white chocolate chips for a creamy twist. When I want more of a cobbler feel, I sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar before baking. I’ve also made these with diced nectarines or a mix of peaches and berries for a fruitier version.

storage/reheating

I store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for 4–5 days. They stay soft and chewy. To reheat, I pop one in the microwave for 10 seconds to bring back that fresh-baked warmth. I’ve also frozen both the dough and the baked cookies with great results.

FAQs

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes, I use canned peaches often—just make sure to drain them well and pat them dry to avoid adding too much moisture to the dough.

How do I keep the cookies from getting soggy?

I coat the chopped peaches lightly in cornstarch and make sure to drain any excess juice before mixing them into the dough.

Can I use frozen peaches?

Yes, I chop them while still slightly frozen and toss them in cornstarch before adding. I don’t thaw them completely so they don’t release too much liquid.

Can I chill the dough?

Yes, if I want thicker cookies, I chill the dough for 30–60 minutes before baking. It also helps the flavors develop more.

Can I make these gluten-free?

I’ve made these using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend with success. I keep an eye on the texture and adjust the bake time slightly if needed.

Conclusion

Tasty Peach Cobbler Cookies are everything I love about a warm, comforting dessert wrapped into an easy-to-make cookie. With juicy peach pieces, cozy cinnamon, and a soft, chewy texture, they’re the perfect sweet treat for peach season—or anytime I want a bite of something that feels like home.
