Chilled Peach Pie Cookies-Hannah Monson (Brittney’s Friend)

Ingredients:

Oatmeal cookie base:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon plain greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Peach Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup butter, room temp
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon plain greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1-2 teaspoon peach juice
  • pinch of salt

For the topping:

  • 2 fresh peaches (or 1 can) thinly sliced and cinnamon

Directions for Cookies:

Preheat oven to 325. Add 1 cup butter, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar to a bowl. Cream for 2-3 minutes. Add 1 Tablespoon plain greek yogurt, 2 eggs, 1 Tablespoon vanilla and mix well until combined. Add 3 1/2 cups flour, 1 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder. Mix until just combined.

Using a large (1/4 cup) cookie scoop, scoop onto lined sheet. Press flat before baking (dough doesn’t spread much). Bake at 325 for 10-13 minutes. Cookies will look a little doughy when you take them out-this is perfect. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then put in fridge to finish cooling.

Directions for Frosting:

Add 1/2 cup room temp butter to a bowl, beat until smooth for 3-4 minutes. Add 4 cups powdered sugar, 1 Tablespoon plain greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, a pinch of salt, and 1-2 teaspoon peach juice, to your taste. Fresh peach juice is best. Frosting should be smooth and easy to spread. Frost cookies and top with a few thin slices of peach. Dust with cinnamon. Let chill for 30 minutes before serving. They are best cold!
