Ingredients
- 2-3 ripe peach slices
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- Sugar cookie dough (enough for 12 cookies)
- Butter or oil for greasing
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Directions
Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
Place peach slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Lightly sprinkle each peach slice with brown sugar.
Spoon cookie dough over the peaches, covering them but leaving some peach edges visible.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookie is set and golden.
Cool briefly, then invert onto a plate so the peaches become the topping.
Serve warm, with ice cream optional.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store these Mini Peach Cookies to keep them fresh?
Since these cookies feature fresh fruit, they are best enjoyed the day they are baked. If you have leftovers, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Avoid refrigeration, as it can cause the cookie dough base to become overly soft.
Can I substitute the fresh peaches in this recipe with canned or frozen fruit?
For the best texture and flavor, fresh, ripe peach slices are recommended as they caramelize nicely under the brown sugar. If you must substitute, use very well-drained canned peaches or lightly patted-dry frozen slices to prevent excess moisture from making the cookie dough soggy.
What is the best way to serve these warm Mini Peach Cookies?
These cookies are designed to be served warm straight from the oven after the 15-minute bake time. For an ultimate treat, serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, allowing the cool cream to contrast beautifully with the warm, sugary peaches.
