A delicious peach cobbler with a topping that tastes just like an oatmeal cookie. Made with fresh peaches this Oatmeal Cookie Peach Cobbler makes a wonderful summer dessert.
Peach Cobbler is maybe my favorite dessert to make during the summer. Blueberry Cobbler is a close second. It’s so easy, so simple, and so delicious. Serve it warm with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream and it’s a dessert you won’t soon forget.
Peach Cobbler With Oatmeal Cookie Topping
This southern peach cobbler recipe is a little bit different from the normal peach cobbler I make. Instead of a biscuit-like topping, this topping tastes just like an oatmeal cookies- and it’s absolutely delicious. It’s full of fresh summer peaches topped with a unique oatmeal cookie topping and it is absolutely perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cobbler bakes up golden brown with crispy edges and a soft, chewy center creating a dessert that is part peach cobbler and part oatmeal cookie.
Very easy and it was delicious! 6 cups seemed like a lot of peaches for a 9 x 9 pan, but it wasn’t. My peaches were very ripe and juicy and maybe should’ve added a little more flour but it was still very good
My daughter had to be scolded for trying to eat all of the topping off. But not scolded too badly. One bite of the topping and you’ll want to eat it all too. The topping is a little bit chewy, more than a little bit sweet, and oh so good.
How To Make Oatmeal Cookie Peach Cobbler
(More detailed instructions and video in recipe card below.)
- Beat granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter with an electric mixer.
- Add vanilla extract and egg.
- Combine flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl.

- Toss peaches with sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Add to greased baking dish.
- Drop spoonfuls of topping over peaches. Bake 30 to 35 minutes.
Do The Peaches Need To Be Peeled?
Peeling the peaches creates the best texture, but if the peaches are very ripe you can leave some of the skins on.
Can Frozen Peaches Be Used?
Yes! Thaw them first and drain off any excess liquid.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with:
- Vanilla ice cream
- Fresh Whipped Cream
- Caramel Sauce
The contrast of warm cobbler and cold ice cream is one of the classic appeals of peach cobbler.
Recipe Tips
Be sure to use very ripe peaches when making a peach cobbler. If your peaches aren’t at peak ripeness, you may want to add some more sugar to the filling. Since the topping is very sweet and I like to put a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on my cobbler, I don’t make the filling all that sweet.
Oatmeal Cookie Peach Cobbler is one of our summer favorites and it is sure to become one of your favorites too.

And to combine it with those sweet, summery peaches and a LARGE scoop of vanilla ice cream!!!!! Woooooow!!!!! Just imagining it is making my stomach rumble!!!! Totally Pinning this!!!! <3
I am so excited for peach season here which is very soon – this cobbler would be perfect to use them up:) I love the sound of this oatmeal topping instead of biscuits, it looks incredible!
Oh yum!
Oh stop it!!! This look mouthwateringly good! We know I love a good topping, but I don’t know if I could share if it tastes like oatmeal cookies!!! Holy Wow. Pinned
Peaches are my absolute favorite fruit. I’ll have to give this one a try. I ordered a cobbler in a restaurant last week and it was disappointing. I should have known better – you can never beat a homemade cobbler!
Can I make this ahead and freeze it?
