Peaches and Cream Crumble Top cookies

Augusts Cookie of the Month highlights Peaches as the star of the show as they enter their crowning harvest season. This cookie starts with a Soda Shop cookie as the base. There are many recipes for these delicious cookies, so use your favorite one or follow the recipe below. If you love peaches as much as I do, these cookies might be about as irresistible as it gets. The soft and chewy sugar cookie balances the crisp, tartness of the Peaches, while the whipped cream frosting adds a rich creaminess and the sweet and nutty crumble topping brings a tiny reminder that Autumn is coming, so enjoy the last moments of summer to the fullest. I hope you’ll enjoy making and devouring these.

The Soda Shop Cookie

Ingredients:

• 1cup butter, softened. I use Salted for best taste but you can use unsalted if you’d like.
• 1 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
• 3/4 Powdered Sugar
• 3/4 cup canola oil
• 2 TBSP water
• 2 eggs

Cream these ingredients together until light and fluffy and then add

• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp Cream of Tarter
• 1 tsp Salt
• 5 1/2 cup flour (in increments, Don’t add it all at once)

Mix the dough until everything is incorporated.

Now roll the dough into golf ball sized balls and place on a baking sheet. Dip the bottom of a mason jar into a bit of sugar and press the cookies in the center to make a well for the toppings. Now bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Refrigerate the cookies after baking and then frost with the whipping cream frosting, peaches, and crumble topping.

Whipped Cream Frosting

2 cups whipping cream

6 Oz cream cheese, softened

11/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp Vanilla extract

Start by whipping the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Now add the Whipping cream and whip until fluffy. Add the sugar and Vanilla.

Peaches

• 3 Ripe Peaches, diced.
• 2 TBSP Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Nutmeg

While cookies are baking, peel and cut the peaches into bite sized pieces, then add the sugar and Nutmeg.

Crumble Topping

• 1 TBSP Butter, browned
• 3 TBSP Brown Sugar
• 3 TBSP Flour
• Dash of Salt
• 1/4 tsp Cinnamon

Melt the butter over medium heat until it melts and begins to turn amber colored and have a nutty smell. Remove from heat and add the rest of the crumble ingredients.

Assembly

Yay! You’ve arrived at the fun part! To assemble the cookies, spread 2 TBSP of the Whipped Cream Frosting onto the cookie, then add a spoonful of peaches. Top everything with a dusting of the crumble topping. Serve and enjoy. Refrigerate cookies if not eating right away.
