Ingredients

Scale

Peach Compote

  • 3 yellow peaches (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Cinnamon Crumble

  • 50 g all-purpose flour
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 55 g unsalted butter (melted)

Cookies

  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 115 g unsalted butter (melted)
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 125 g cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 75 g powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Peach Compote: In a small pot, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Cook uncovered over medium heat until the peaches are tender and the liquid thickens, stirring occasionally. If the mixture becomes too dry or starts to stick, add a few spoonfuls of water and cover to steam for a few minutes. Allow the compote to cool completely in a small bowl.
  2. Cinnamon Crumble Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Make Crumble: In a small bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix until a thick paste forms. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
  4. Bake Crumble: Break the chill-hardened crumble into small chunks by hand and spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes. The crumble will soften and slightly melt together.
  5. Cool and Crumble Up: Let the crumble cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes to crisp up. Then break it apart into crumbs with your hands and transfer to a bowl. Keep the baking sheet aside and leave the oven on for baking the cookies.
  6. Prepare Cookie Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  7. Prepare Cookie Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
  8. Combine Wet and Dry: Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  9. Scoop Cookie Dough: Using a 4-tablespoon cookie scooper, place dough balls on the lined baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  10. Bake Cookies: Bake for 11-12 minutes or until the edges set and cookies puff up. Right after removing the tray from the oven, gently press down the center of each cookie with the back of a spoon to create a large indentation. Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before decorating.
  11. Make Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting: In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer or by hand until smooth and creamy. Transfer frosting to a piping bag and cut off the tip for easy decorating.
  12. Assemble Cookies: Spoon a small amount of cooled peach compote into the indentation of each cookie. Pipe a swirl of cinnamon cream cheese frosting on top of the peach compote, then sprinkle each cookie generously with the prepared crumble topping.

Notes

  • Peaches can be substituted with frozen thawed peaches if fresh are not in season.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the frosting.
  • The crumble can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.
  • Use parchment paper for easier cookie removal and cleanup.
  • Cookies should be stored in an airtight container and are best enjoyed within 3 days.
