  If you love the cozy flavors of peach cobbler but want something handheld and easier to share, these Easy Peach Cobbler Cookies are the perfect solution. Soft, tender, and bursting with juicy peaches and warm cinnamon, they capture all the charm of a classic Southern dessert in cookie form. Plus, the optional nuts add a delightful crunch that balances the softness beautifully. This recipe quickly became one of my favorites because it’s so simple to make but tastes like you spent hours baking. The combination of brown and granulated sugar creates a lovely caramel note, and the peaches give a sweet, fresh pop in every bite. Whether you’re baking for a crowd or just treating yourself, these cookies are guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth. Let’s start by gathering the ingredients and creaming the butter and sugars to build the perfect cookie base.

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup diced canned or fresh peaches (drained if canned)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
These ingredients come together to create soft, flavorful cookies loaded with juicy fruit and just the right amount of spice and sweetness. STEP 1: PREPARE YOUR OVEN AND BAKING SHEETS Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy. STEP 2: CREAM THE BUTTER AND SUGARS In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step helps create tender, melt-in-your-mouth cookies.
  STEP 3: ADD EGGS AND VANILLA Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract for a lovely aromatic base. MIX DRY INGREDIENTS, FOLD IN PEACHES, AND BAKE YOUR PEACH COBBLER COOKIES (Styled like: The Best Blog Recipes – clear, friendly, and full of warmth) You’ve got your butter and sugars creamed perfectly, eggs and vanilla added, and now it’s time to bring in the dry ingredients and those juicy peaches. This step is key to ensuring your cookies are tender and packed with that signature peach cobbler flavor. Let’s walk through how to finish the batter and bake these irresistible treats. STEP 4: WHISK TOGETHER THE DRY INGREDIENTS In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined. This dry mixture adds structure and the warm spice that makes these cookies special. STEP 5: COMBINE WET AND DRY MIXTURES Gradually add the dry ingredients to your creamed butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the dough should be soft and a little lumpy. Overmixing can make the cookies tough, and we want them tender and soft. STEP 6: FOLD IN DICED PEACHES AND NUTS Gently fold in the diced peaches and chopped pecans or walnuts if you’re using them. The peaches add moisture and sweetness while the nuts provide a satisfying crunch that pairs beautifully with the soft cookie base.
  STEP 7: DROP DOUGH ONTO BAKING SHEETS Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  STEP 8: BAKE UNTIL GOLDEN Bake in your preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and set in the center. They’ll be soft but hold together nicely. STEP 9: COOL BEFORE SERVING Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This cooling step helps them firm up just enough while keeping them tender and delicious.

TIPS FOR PERFECT PEACH COBBLER COOKIES

  • Use fresh peaches when possible, but canned peaches work well if drained thoroughly.
  • Don’t skip the cinnamon—it adds a wonderful warmth that brings the cobbler flavor to life.
  • For an extra special touch, drizzle with icing or sprinkle with a little coarse sugar before baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft and fresh.
