Step-by-Step Recipe
1. Make the Peach Filling
In a saucepan, combine peaches, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until peaches release their juices. Stir in cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water) and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.
2. Prepare the Cookie Dough
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until combined.
3. Shape and Bake
Scoop dough into balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
4. Add Filling & Topping
Once cookies are slightly cooled, press an indentation in the center. Fill with peach mixture and sprinkle with crumble topping. Return to the oven for 2–3 minutes to set the topping.
Pro Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler Cookies

- Chill your dough for 30 minutes to get a thicker, bakery-style cookie.

- Drizzle with vanilla glaze or cream cheese icing for extra indulgence.
