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!

Peach Pie (This recipe is from Grandpa Carl Morgenegg’s Aunt Esther Morgenegg, she was Great Grandpa Edgar Morgenegg’s brother Arthur’s wife)

This recipe makes one 9″ pie, you can double to make two pies or one 10″ pie

Combine

  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 5 level TBS cornstarch mixed with a little juice

Cook until thick. Pour enough into a baked pie shell to just cover the bottom. Slice peaches into the shell over the juice until pie is nice and full. Cover with rest of filling. Cool. Cover with fresh whipped cream. Chill and serve.

Grandma Lee Morgenegg says this is absolutely delicious.
