For the Cookie Dough

• 1 cup salted butter – just colder than room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 baking soda

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

• 1/4 cup salted butter – softened
• 8 ounces cream cheese – softened
• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar – More can be added for a thicker frosting
• 1 tablespoon milk
• Pinch of salt
• Splash of vanilla extract

For the Browned Butter Crumbles

• 1 tablespoon salted butter – melted
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch salt

For the Peach Topping

• 3 large peaches
• 2 teaspoons sugar

To Finish

• Caramel sauce of choice (I use the ice cream caramel in a squeeze bottle)

How to Make Peach Cobbler Cookies

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl or stand mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar then mix until creamy. Next, incorporate the vanilla extract and eggs; mix well until combined. Add in flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda; blend until you have a well-mixed dough.

Step 2: Chill the Dough

Chill dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. This step helps firm up the dough for easier handling.

Step 3: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while waiting for the dough to chill.

Step 4: Shape Cookies

Divide chilled dough into 16 large cookie balls. Place them on a lined cookie sheet and press them down gently with the back of a cup until they are about ½ inch thick.

Step 5: Bake Cookies

Bake for about 10 minutes or until they appear baked but remain soft. Avoid overbaking for the best texture.

Step 6: Make Cream Cheese Frosting

In another bowl, mix together all frosting ingredients until smooth. Set aside or refrigerate if it feels runny.

Step 7: Prepare Browned Butter Crumbles

In a saucepan (or microwave), melt butter until it starts to brown. Pour it over a mixture of flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl. Mix well.

Step 8: Crisp Up Crumbles

Microwave this mixture in short bursts (about 30 seconds) until crispy. Break apart into crumbles.

Step 9: Dice Peaches

Dice your fresh peaches after removing pits but keeping skins on is fine. Sprinkle diced peaches with sugar and set aside.

Step 10: Assemble Cookies

Spread cream cheese frosting onto each cookie then top with sugared peaches followed by browned butter crumbles. Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.

Enjoy!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Baking Peach Cobbler Cookies can be delightful, but a few common mistakes can hinder your success. Here are some pitfalls to watch out for:

• Bold Ingredient Miscalculations: Always measure your ingredients accurately. Using too much flour or sugar can lead to overly dense or overly sweet cookies.

• Bold Skipping the Chilling Step: Don’t skip chilling the dough. This helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking and enhances the texture.

• Bold Overbaking: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. Removing them when they look slightly underdone will result in a softer cookie once cooled.

• Bold Ignoring Frosting Consistency: If your cream cheese frosting is too runny, refrigerate it until thickened. A good frosting should hold its shape when piped or spread.

• Bold Not Using Fresh Peaches: Fresh peaches add flavor and moisture. Avoid canned peaches unless necessary; if using them, ensure they are well-drained.
