Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these irresistible cookies:

1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon LorAnn peach flavoring (optional, for a boost of peachy flavor)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup cinnamon chips
1 cup diced fresh peaches (about one large peach)

Step-by-Step: How to Make Peach Cobbler Cookies

Follow these easy steps for the perfect batch:

Prep the pans: Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 410°F (yes, this high temperature is key for that thick, gooey center).
Cream the butter & sugars: In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, whip the butter for 1 minute until fluffy. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, then cream for 3 minutes on high until fully combined.
Add wet ingredients: Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the vanilla, peach flavoring (if using), and eggs until smooth.
Combine dry ingredients: Add cinnamon, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and flour. Mix on low speed until just combined—do not overmix.
Fold in the goodies: Reserve about ⅛ cup of cinnamon chips and 1 tablespoon of peach cubes for topping. Gently fold the oats, cinnamon chips, and remaining chopped peaches into the dough.
Shape the cookies: Divide dough into 8 large (baseball-sized) balls. Place 4 cookies per baking sheet. Press the reserved chips and peach cubes onto the tops for a beautiful finish.
Bake & cool: Bake for 9–10 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden on the edges but still gooey in the center. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Helpful Tips

Use cold butter: This helps create a thicker, bakery-style cookie with a soft center.
Chill if needed: If your dough feels too soft, chill for 15–20 minutes before baking.
Don’t overmix: Stir the flour and mix-ins just until combined to keep the cookies soft and tender.
Use parchment paper: This prevents sticking and helps the cookies bake evenly.

Substitutions and Variations

No fresh peaches? Use well-drained canned peaches or frozen peaches (thawed and patted dry).
No cinnamon chips? Swap for white chocolate chips, caramel chips, or even chopped pecans for added texture.
Make them smaller: Instead of 8 large cookies, form 16 medium-sized cookies and bake for 7–8 minutes.
Gluten-free version: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats.

Storage Instructions

Room Temperature: Store Peach Cobbler Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Refrigerator: Keep them chilled for up to a week for extra freshness.
Freezer: Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for 10–15 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peach Cobbler Cookies

Can I use canned peaches?
Yes! Just make sure to drain them well and pat dry to avoid adding extra moisture to the dough.

Why is the oven temperature so high?
The high temperature helps the cookies stay thick and chewy while keeping the centers gooey—just like bakery-style cookies.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can refrigerate the dough for up to 48 hours or freeze pre-portioned cookie dough balls for up to 3 months.

Do I need LorAnn peach flavoring?
It’s optional but recommended for a stronger peach flavor. If you don’t have it, your cookies will still taste amazing with fresh peaches alone.

Can I make these cookies smaller?
Yes! Just adjust the size and reduce the baking time to 7–8 minutes for medium cookies.
