• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling the dough)
• 2 tsp cinnamon (for rolling the dough)
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg (for rolling the dough)
• 1/4 cup salted butter, melted (for crumble topping)
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (for crumble topping)
• 1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar (for crumble topping)
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
• 3/4 tsp cinnamon (for crumble topping)
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (for optional glaze)
• Pinch of cinnamon (for optional glaze)
• 1 to 2 tbsp milk (for optional glaze)

Directions:

1. Make the Peach Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 6 minutes until bubbly. Mix cornstarch with water and stir it into the mixture. Cook for 1 more minute, remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Let the filling cool in the refrigerator.

2. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract and eggs until just combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a dough forms. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes.

3. Scoop and Chill: Scoop dough into balls weighing about 55g each. Refrigerate for 3 hours or freeze for 2 hours to prevent spreading.

4. Prepare the Crumble Topping: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix melted butter with sugars, flour, and cinnamon. Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until golden. Let it cool, then break into small crumble pieces.

5. Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven again to 350°F. Roll each chilled dough ball in the cinnamon sugar nutmeg mixture. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 11 to 13 minutes until edges are set, but centers look slightly underbaked. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes and press each cookie center to form an indent. Let cool on a wire rack.

6. Make the Optional Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and milk until smooth.

7. Assemble the Cookies: Spoon chilled peach filling into each cookie indent, top with crumble pieces, and drizzle with glaze if using.

8. Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days; they get better the next day.

FAQs

1. Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use canned peaches, but make sure to drain them well to prevent excess moisture in the filling.

2. How do I know when the cookies are done?
The edges should be set, and the centers may look a bit underbaked. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

3. Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Absolutely! You can freeze the dough balls for up to 3 months. Just bake them straight from the freezer, adding a minute or two to the baking time.

Now you’re ready to make and enjoy delicious Peach Cobbler Cookies! Happy baking!
