Peach Crisp Cookies

Peach crisp cookies that LITERALLY taste like a mash-up between peach cobbler, thanks to that cinnamon sugar cookie base, and peach crisp, thanks to the buttery oatmeal topping.

Welcome to PEACH WEEK everyone! We, here at Oh Sweet Basil, are obsessed with peaches and thought that we need a full week to celebrate this glorious fruit! Peach season is brief here in Utah, so I pack all my favorite peach recipes into the last few weeks of summer starting with this peach crisp cookies recipe!

Stay tuned for posts all week long featuring new peach recipes and updates of old favorites! We will finish off the week with a roundup post of all our peach recipes here on the blog! We can’t wait!

Peach Crisp Cookies

The same day that I made apple crisp cookies I was so on fire with how awesome they turned out that I busted out a peach crisp version and then decided that I HAD to post both.

The glaze we added was at first just for looks but it ended up being a delicious addition that reminded my family of the ice cream on top of a hot peach crisp so if I were you, I wouldn’t miss that.

The best news is?

These can be made ahead!

Ok, not filled, but the dough holds up amazingly well in the fridge and the freezer! Just roll into dough balls, throw into a freezer bag and pull one out whenever you want one.

Bonus! The filling and topping can each be frozen separately as well. In fact, both are in my freezer drawer and I’m practically drooling over the thought of making a 10pm cookie!

How to Make Peach Crisp Cookies

I’ve seen this type of cookie called peach cobbler cookies online, but in my mind, if there is a crunchy buttery oat topping involved, then it has to be a crisp. There are four different parts to making these peach crisp cookies, and I’ll walk you through the steps for each part, but keep scrolling to the end of the post to the recipe card for the complete

Welcome to the weekend, my friends! We spent most of last week driving to Arizona and back for our annual family camping trip in the White Mountains. It’s a heck of a drive now that we live in Ohio, but we love the family time. After 56+ hours sitting in the car for the drive, I’ve been on my feet and moving as much as I can this week. 

And speaking of being on my feet, there are some great new recipes on the way to all the sites. (Have I mentioned lately how much I love this job?!)

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Juicy fresh peaches are matched up with spicy jalapenos, fragrant red onions, fresh cilantro, and zesty lime in this utterly irresistible peach salsa. I guarantee you can’t stop at one bite of this beautiful dip!

California spaghetti salad is a guaranteed hit for the summer vegetable lover in your life! This amped up pasta salad is exploding with peak-freshness produce and an irresistible Parmesan dressing.

Coleslaw gets an exciting upgrade in this pineapple coleslaw. Crunchy cabbage and sliced almonds are paired with sweet and fragrant pineapple tidbits, super fresh green onions and cilantro in a tangy but light and creamy dressing.

This peach cobbler is made as easy as can be with canned peaches and it is exactly what I remember my grandmother making when I was little. The topping is a little bit cakey, and buttery sweet, and the peaches fall through as it bakes and create juicy pockets of fruit in each bite.

Almond glazed, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are the perfect afternoon treat with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Keep a stash of these on hand for a sweet accompaniment to a cuppa whatever you love best.

Full of tender apples, beautifully citrusy rhubarb, and crowned with a classic brown sugar oat crisp topping, this apple rhubarb crisp blends seasons together in sweet tart harmony. It’s different and it’s delightful.

Deep, dark, and indulgent, chocolate chocolate chip ice cream is unapologetically extra chocolatey. Not one, not two, but three kinds of chocolate make their way into this rich and creamy chocolate lover’s dream of an ice cream.

What I’m CRAVING: The biggest, greenest, crunchiest salads possible! After a lot of travel, with more on the horizon, I’ve happily made and eaten as many salads as possible. I have this one on my radar to ma

Marinated Smoked Chicken Thighs on the Traeger

We have smoked chicken breasts, a whole chicken and chicken wings so it was high time we share our smoked chicken thighs recipe. Chicken thighs have the best flavor and we are ramping that flavor up in the Traeger!

We start with a sweet smoky marinade and allow the chicken thighs to soak in all that tasty flavor. Then we smoke them on the Traeger. Serve them with an elote corn and some mac & cheese, and you have the perfect summer meal!

Remember how we used our Traeger as our oven a few summers ago while our kitchen was being remodeled? We love our Traeger so much! Not only does it make delicious food (practically on its own), but it also saved us last summer and is a great way to avoid turning on the oven when it’s scorching hot outside!

What Ingredients are Needed for Smoked Chicken Thighs?

Grab your chicken thighs and all the rest of these ingredients for the best smoked chicken thighs:

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
• Honey
• Soy Sauce
• All Spice
• Cayenne Pepper
• Cinnamon
• Ginger
• Yellow Onion
• Garlic
• Dark Brown Sugar
• Corn Syrup
• Water
• BBQ Spice Rub

If you are a sauce lover, like I am, you can dip this chicken in some homemade bbq sauce…store-bought or whatever your favorite barbecue sauce is! The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Smoked Chicken Thighs

The first step in making these smoked thighs is to decide if you are going to smoke the meat in a pan in the smoker (this is the way I prefer to do it) or directly on the grill. If you want to cook them directly on the grill, save about a third of the marinade to use later.

The next step is to make the marinade. We like to pour everything directly into the ziploc bag that we are going to marinate the chicken in…less clean up! Put all the ingredients into the bag and then squish everything together to combine.

NOTE: If you’re grilling directly on the grill, reserve a third of the marinade for later now before adding the chicken.

Add the chicken to the bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 1-12 hours.

When you’re ready to start smoking, place all the chicken thighs and marinade into your pan.

Deep, dark, and indulgent, chocolate chocolate chip ice cream is unapologetically extra chocolatey. Not one, not two, but three kinds of chocolate make their way into this rich and creamy chocolate lover’s dream of an ice cream.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Whether you love an ice cream cone piled high or a bowl with one single, solitary, perfect scoop of ice cream in it, I’m betting that ice cream puts a smile on your face. It sure does on mine.

And this particular ice cream is a definite smile maker. It is, of course, divine on cones and in bowls, but do also consider it as a filling for The BEST Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches.
