Warm flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg combined with the fruity peach flavor makes these cinnamon peach streusel cookies an amazing combination.
All my posts lately have seemed to have revolved around one of my good friends. She’s the one that nagged me to make her something sweet that led to my Blueberry Coffee Cake and she also helped me make these delicious cookies. I’m not sure if that make her my muse or just my motivation but either way I’ll take it.
Her and her children came over on Martin Luther King, Jr Day since the kids were off school AGAIN! We’ve had so many snows days that another day home alone with our kids just didn’t sound like very much fun so we got them all together.
I was craving cookies and was looking through this cookie cook book when she came over. I stumbled upon some streusel cookies and thought that sounded AMAZING! I’m a sucker for streusel on anything but had never thought to put it on a cookie. Since I didn’t have a bunch of the ingredients in the recipe I found, we made up our own recipe.
The base cookie dough isn’t super sweet but the cinnamon & nutmeg give it a nice warm flavor and it works well with the sweetness of the jam & streusel. I had several flavors of jam on hand but peach just sounded like it would be amazing to me. Feel free to swap out the peach jam for whatever kind you like best or have on hand?
