Oatmeal Peach Cookies

Teresa Ambra

Oh, my goodness, Oatmeal Peach Cookies are amazing cookies! You’ve heard of Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, surely? This cookie is really a take-off on those cookies. This scrumptious oatmeal cookie starts with my Laura Bush’s Cowboy Cookies recipe which is wonderful itself. That cookie contains oatmeal (duh!), coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.

Well instead of the chocolate chips I used diced peaches from our peach trees out back. They were awesome. I sent two batches of these cookies out to one of the departments at John’s office and they have been asking for the recipe, so finally I’m posting it!

The first batch I made (the ones they got) were not the best (sorry 🙁 ). I had to go back and adjust the recipe adding additional flour the second time so the cookies wouldn’t flatten out too much. The second batch (pictured), came out a whole lot better. Both tasted great, but the second batch was a little softer and easier to handle than the first go-around.

Many of you know I’ve had my hands full the past couple of weeks paring up peaches for lots of delicious dessert recipes. I did finally get all of them used up for recipes. But it took 10-12 straight days of eight-to-ten-hour shifts of baking to get it all done! I’m so glad to finally have my house clean and in order again, and yes, have a chance to relax and post about all my labors.

I combed through many, many recipes in my own cookbooks and on Pinterest trying to find recipes that would be conducive to adding peaches. I used some of my Apple Cake recipes and converted them. I also used many of my favorite cookie and bar recipes. I made pies and cobblers galore!

I would weigh over 200 pounds now if I’d eaten all that stuff! Thankfully, I was able to share a lot of it with friends, coworkers, and folks from church. But I can tell you, it’s been hard to stay out of it–especially the pies. Pies are really a weakness of mine. I made three different kinds and will be rolling them out tomorrow! Oh, yum. I’m salivating already.

If you enjoy oatmeal cookies then you will probably love Oatmeal Peach Cookies. I really enjoyed the additions of pecans and coconut and then tossing in the peaches made them out-of-this-world good. Okay, so for those of you who have been asking for this recipe, here it is. Enjoy.

Add UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. Bleached flour toughens baked goods. Add oatmeal. I only use the old-fashioned oatmeal, not quick oats, or the stuff out of packets.

Bake at 350 about 17-20 minutes. Remember these are whopper sized cookies so they will take longer to bake than if you make them the normal size.

    Why are there no comments from people who have made these? I would send a picture of how mine turned out but there isn’t a way to add pics. I wasted over $10 on ingredients for a mess that all went in the garbage! I’m tired of people who post recipes just to be posting & see their name on the net.

      Hi Jan. Not sure what happened to your cookies. I’ve made these several times and they turn out delightfully each time. I have pictures on the blog that show exactly what the dough should look like during each stage.

    Can you use gluten-free flour and achieve the same results?

    1. Teresa

      February 8, 2021 at 6:30 am

      Hi Angela. Yes, absolutely! I prefer Cup4Cup. I would stay away from any kind of Pamela’s products because they don’t taste right and they don’t have a one-to-one correspondence. But many of the other GF flours work great these days.

    Can you use frozen peaches if fresh are not available? I really want to try this recipe.

    1. Teresa

      May 19, 2016 at 4:33 pm

      I’ve never tried it with frozen peaches, Sue. I would probably thaw them and then make sure the peaches are dried very well before adding to the cookie dough batter or you may end up with runny cookies.

    Thank you for responding so quickly!! I think I’ve had two more since I sent that last message, so there will be less to freeze at this rate! 🙂 What is the best way to defrost frozen cookies? On the counter or in the fridge? Thanks!

    1. Teresa

      September 3, 2014 at 10:44 pm

      You can leave them out on the counter. Or if you’re in a really big hurry, microwave a few seconds, eat and enjoy. 🙂

    I just made these and they are AMAZING! I was wondering what the best way is to store the extras? Should I refrigerate them? Would it be ok to freeze some as well? Thanks!

    1. Teresa

      September 3, 2014 at 7:59 pm

      Nicole, I am so glad you enjoyed them. Yes, you can absolutely freeze them. That’s what I did. Then you can divvy them out as you need to. They will be okay on your counter in an air-tight container for a few days, then you should probably freeze them after that.

    Love oatmeal cookies! These sound amazing with all the coconut, pecans, and of course, the peaches. Peaches are my favorite.

      Peaches are my favorite, too, Laura. They really were amazing. I hope you give them a try while you can still get fresh peaches at the store!
