Peach Cobbler Cookie
When the Dog Days of summer are almost over, one thing is prevalent in the Carolinas as we near the return of school and football season. Peaches, peaches and more peaches! One of the classic dishes utilizing peaches around the house is peach cobbler. This cookie pays tribute to this locally-sourced and delicious stone fruit. Stop by a local produce stand, farmers market or co-op to purchase some. We feel they are best served warm out of the oven with a glass of milk or scoop of vanilla ice cream, you can’t go wrong! We hope you enjoy these sweet flavor packed favorites.
