Ingredients

Scale

Peach Compote

  • 3 yellow peaches, peeled, cored, and finely diced
  • 50g brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Cinnamon Crumble

  • 50g all-purpose flour
  • 50g brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 55g unsalted butter, melted

Cookies

  • 200g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 115g unsalted butter, melted
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 50g brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 125g cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 75g powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

Step 1: Make the Peach Compote

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, and cornstarch.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the peaches are soft and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
  3. If the mixture starts to stick, add a spoonful or two of water to prevent burning.
  4. Let the compote cool completely and set it aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon Crumble

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms a thick paste.
  3. Refrigerate the mixture for 10–15 minutes, then crumble it into small chunks using your hands.
  4. Spread the chunks onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.
  5. Let the crumble cool completely, then break it into smaller crumbs.

Step 3: Make the Cookie Dough

  1. Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
  3. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold them together with a spatula until a dough forms.

Step 4: Scoop and Bake the Cookies

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a 4-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  2. Bake at 350°F for 11–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  3. Remove the cookies from the oven and, while they’re still warm, use the back of a spoon to press an indentation into the center of each cookie.
  4. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before adding toppings.

Step 5: Prepare the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  2. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  3. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag and cut off the tip.

Step 6: Assemble the Peach Cobbler Cookies

    1. Spoon a generous amount of peach compote into the indentation of each cookie.
    2. Pipe a swirl of cinnamon cream cheese frosting over the peach compote.
    3. Sprinkle the cinnamon crumble on top for a crunchy finish.

Notes

  • Peeling Peaches: To easily peel peaches, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins will slip off effortlessly.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the peach compote and cinnamon crumble a day ahead. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge.
  • Storage: Store assembled cookies in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Bring them to room temperature before serving.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the baked cookies (without toppings) for up to 3 months. Thaw, then add the compote, frosting, and crumble before serving.
