Pantry Staples – Peach Cobbler Cookies
Here are a few pantry items you will ned to make Copycat Peach Cobbler Cookies but for a list of full ingredients, be sure to check out the recipe card below!
- Brown sugar – You can use dark or light!
- All-purpose flour – I suggest to spoon and level it so you can get a more accurate measurement!
- Cornstarch – I hate to say this, this is a must! This makes your cookie stay soft for days!
- Rolled oats – I have tried this with quick oats and it doesn’t as well!
- Ground cinnamon – You should always have this because cinnamon might be the best seasoning ever.
- Nutmeg – You will use just a pinch of nutmeg!
- Eggs – I prefer to use large eggs over medium! Extra large also work great!
- Powdered sugar – In 2024 we aren’t sifting unless we need to, and we don’t need to in this recipe!
- Vanilla extract – I have been baking a lot lately and I love this cheaper (it’s not a pure extract but the flavoring is unreal)
Step By Step – Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together ¾ cup room temperature unsalted butter, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated white sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Egg: Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add 1 room temperature egg and beat on medium-low speed for 30 seconds until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Mix Together: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom to ensure even mixing.
- Form Cookies: Use a 3-tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Push two scoops of dough together to form larger cookies, making seven large cookies. Roll them into balls of dough in the palm of your hand.
- Bake: Place 3-4 cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Bake for 14-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft. Press cookies down to about ½ inch thick while warm. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Step By Step – Peach Filling
- Prepare Peaches: Peel, core, and dice 5 medium to large peaches into small ½-inch cubes. Alternatively, use frozen peaches for longer periods of time.
- Cook Filling: Add diced peaches to a medium saucepan over medium heat with 3 tablespoons water, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a dash of table salt. Cook until peaches are soft and tender.
- Thicken Filling: In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons cornstarch with ⅓ cup cold water to make a cornstarch slurry. Pour the slurry into the hot peach mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the juice of 1 small lemon.
Step By Step – Cinnamon Streusel
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix Streusel: In a medium bowl, mix ¼ cup light brown sugar, ⅔ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add 4 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter and mix by hand until the mixture resembles clumps of sand.
- Bake Streusel: Spread the streusel mixture over the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool completely and crumble into smaller pieces if necessary.
- Use Cold Butter: Keeps the streusel crumbly. Cut into small cubes and keep refrigerated until use.
- Mix by Hand: Better control over texture. Use fingers or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Balance Ingredients: Stick to recipe measurements. Adjust slightly if too dry (add butter) or too wet (add flour).
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Ensures crispness and flavor. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Cool Completely Before Using: Helps streusel set and become crumbly. Cool on baking sheet, then break up large clumps.
For the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
- Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine 4 ounces softened cream cheese and ½ cup softened unsalted butter. Cream on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and beat for 2 more minutes.
- Add Sugar and Spices: With the mixer on low speed, add 2 cups powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Beat on low until mixed, then turn to medium-high speed and beat for 2-3 minutes.
Assembly – Peach Cobbler Cookies
- Prepare Frosting Bag: Place the cinnamon cream cheese frosting in a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a medium-sized hole cut in the corner.
- Top Cookies with Filling: Take a cooled cookie and spread 1-2 tablespoons of peach filling on top.
- Frost and Finish: Pipe a swirl of cinnamon cream cheese frosting over the peach filling and sprinkle with the cinnamon streusel.
Now it’s time to serve and eat your Crumbl Peach Cobbler Cookies! These cookies are perfect for any summer gathering or just a sweet treat to enjoy at home.

Does the filling call for brown sugar and white sugar? The ingredient list says only brown sugar but the instructions list both. Thank you!
