What is Peach Cobbler?
Peach cobbler is similar to a pie. It contains sweet peaches in a flavorful sauce with a crust-like base around it. While it tastes like pie, it is a bit easier to make.

You will love the fluffy texture and sweet taste that comes from each bite of these fresh, easy-to-make cookies.
Peach Cobbler Cookie Ingredients
When making the Peach Cobbler Cookie recipe, you will need to have these important ingredients:
- Butter. Use two sticks of unsalted butter in this recipe.
- Granulated White Sugar. The sugar gives these cookies a sweeter taste.
- All-Purpose Flour. Using flour is a must when preparing your cookie dough from scratch.
- Diced Peaches. Drain the peaches of the excess juice before using them to make these cookies.
- Cinnamon. Just a bit of cinnamon goes a long way and complements the peach flavor in these cookies.
You will also need baking soda, brown sugar, and salt to make these cookies. When preparing the glaze, you can use the juice from your peaches mixed with powdered sugar.
Along with the ingredients for the cookie dough and the glaze, it helps to have a stand mixer and a cookie scoop.
Should I Use Fresh Peaches?
You do not need to use fresh peaches when preparing the Peach Cobbler Cookie recipe. It is better to use diced peaches in juice because they are soft, tender, and have soaked in the juice long enough to add extra flavor to these cookies. You can buy diced peaches in a can or plastic containers at your local grocery store.
Do I Need to Use Baking Powder?
Baking powder is an optional ingredient that you can add to your cookies. You should only use it if you would like to make flatter cookies. If you do not add the baking powder to your cookie dough, they will come out fluffy, but there is nothing wrong with that.
How Long Does It Take to Make the Cookies?
It should take about an hour to prepare these cookies. You will spend about five minutes creaming your sugars with butter and then a few more minutes adding in other ingredients to prepare the dough. Once you make your cookie dough, you will need to scoop it out onto a baking sheet, let the cookies chill for 30 minutes, and then bake them in the oven for 15 minutes. Give the cookies time to cool down before biting into them.
How to Store the Cookies
Place your cookies in a food storage container with an airtight lid. You can place the cookie side-by-side. If you have rows of cookies, be sure to use parchment paper to separate the rows. You can leave the cookies out for up to three days or put them in the fridge to keep them fresher for up to a week.
