How to Make Peach Cobbler With Sugar Cookie Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Pour peach mixture into a 2-quart baking dish.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes.
  5. While peaches are baking, prepare the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup boiling water until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
  8. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the peaches.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the cobbler.
  10. Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
