Description
Capturing the warm, spiced essence of a classic fruit cobbler in a soft, pillowy cookie. Featuring a tender cinnamon-sugar base and a custom thumbprint center, these cookies are filled with a luscious, homemade peach compote.
Ingredients
For the Peach Cobbler Topping
- 4 cups diced peaches, 1/4 cup each granulated/brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp corn starch + 2 tsp water (slurry), 1 tsp vanilla
For the Cookie Dough
- 1 cup softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt
For the Coating
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
Compote: Cook peaches, sugars, spices, lemon juice, and vanilla for 5 mins. Stir in corn starch slurry; cook 2-3 mins until thick. Chill completely.
Dough: Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Gradually mix in combined dry ingredients. Scoop into balls and refrigerate for 4–48 hours.
Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll chilled balls in cinnamon-sugar. Bake 15 mins. Let rest 2 mins, then press an indentation into the centers.
Assemble: Once cookies and filling are cold, spoon compote into the centers.
Notes
Secret to Fluffy Texture: Chilling the dough for at least 4 hours is essential for the thick, pillowy cookie structure.
Small Dice is Key: Ensure peaches are diced very small to fit neatly inside the thumbprint center.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days due to the fresh fruit topping.
