Instructions
 

Peach Compote

  • Cook: In a small pot, stir together diced peaches, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Cook uncovered until the peaches are tender and any excess liquid has evaporated. If the mixture looks too dry or starts burning at any point, add a few spoonfuls of water and cover with a lid for a few minutes to cook the peaches without drying them out. Transfer to a small bowl to cool completely.

Cinnamon Crumble

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Mix: In a small bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and stir together until it forms a thick paste. Let it sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to cool and firm up.
    Left to right: pouring melted butter in a bowl of flour, mixing crumble mixture with a spatula.
  • Bake: Once cooled, use your hands to break up the crumble into small chunks and spread them out across your lined baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes. The crumble will melt together slightly but not to worry.
    Left to right: pouring crumble mixture onto baking sheet, hand spreading out crumble on a baking sheet.
  • Crumble up: Let the crumble cool on the pan for about 10 minutes until it crisps up. Use your hands to break the crumble apart and back into "crumbs". Let them cool completely before transferring them to a small bowl. Set aside the lined baking sheet and keep the oven on to bake the cookies later.

    Left to right: dry ingredients in a container, hand stirring dry ingredients together with a spoon.
  • Wet mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk together until combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk until combined and smooth.

  • Scoop cookie dough: Use a 4-tablespoon cookie scooper to scoop the cookie dough onto your lined baking sheet, leaving about 2" in between each cookie for spreading.
    Left to right: scooping cookie dough with a cookie scoop, releasing cookie dough onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake: Bake for 11-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the cookies are puffy. Immediately after taking them out of the oven, use the back of a spoon to press the middle of the cookies down into a large indentation. Let the cookies cool completely before adding the toppings.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
