Sugar Cookie Peach Cobbler Recipe

Sugar Peach Cobbler

In summertime, all I want to do is eat peaches, all day every day. So I tend to stock up on them to the point of insanity, and then it’s a rush to beat the clock and use them before they go bad. One of my all-time favorite recipes to utilize my hoarded peaches is my mom’s sugar cookie peach cobbler. It is sure to impress but so easy to make! The cobbler part tastes like a sugar cookie, and is ridiculously addictive.

Ingredients

For the fruit layer:
8 peaches, sliced
1/3 c. sugar
1 T. cornstarch

For the topping:
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg yolk
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 pinch salt

Preheat oven to 375°. Place sliced peaches in a large bowl. Toss with fruit layer ingredients, until dry ingredients completely coat the peaches. Spray a 9×13 inch pan with nonstick spray, and put peach mixture in the bottom of the pan.

For the sugar cookie topping, start by using a mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until well-combined. Add the egg yolk, nutmeg, almond extract, and salt to the bowl, and mix again. Finally, stir in the baking powder and flour and beat until incorporated.

With a large spoon, scoop the sugar cookie topping in large dollops on top of peach mixture. Spread as much as possible in a smooth layer, but don’t worry if it’s hard to spread – the topping will even out in the oven.

Bake the cobbler for 40-50 minutes, until crust is just golden on top. Serve warm or at room temperature, and topping the cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is always an option!
