Sugar Cookie Peach Cobbler
This Homemade Sugar Cookie Peach Cobbler is made with juicy peaches tossed in sugar and topped with a soft, buttery sugar cookie crust, then baked until golden.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 5 large Fresh Peaches *
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
Sugar Cooking Topping:
- 1/2 cup Salted Butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- Sparkling Sugar or Turbinado Sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel (if desired), pit, and slice the peaches. In a large bowl, toss peaches with sugar, and cornstarch. If the peaches aren't juicy enough, add 1 Tablespoon of sugar. Optional: add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla or 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. Spread evenly into a 11 x 7 baking dish (or 9 x 9).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted salted butter and sugar until combined.Add flour and baking powder. If you used unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir until a thick batter forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peaches, then gently spread it out with a spatula. It doesn’t have to cover every bit—the topping will spread as it bakes. Sprinkle generously with turbinado or sparkling sugar for crunch.
- Place the dish on a baking sheet (to catch any bubbling juices). Bake for 35–42 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling at the edges. Check it after baking for 25 minutes to make sure the topping isn't getting too brown. If so, place foil on the top.
- Let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Substitutions and Variations:
Can I use canned peaches? Yes! Use a 29-ounce can of peaches with heavy syrup so they aren't too watery. You may want to drain off a small amount of liquid.
For extra depth, add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract to the peach filling. You can also add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the sugar cookie topping.
Stir 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the peaches for a warm spice note.
