The image shows six round oatmeal cookies on a piece of parchment paper placed on a cooling rack, with a peach and a purple flower in a vase next to them. Each cookie has a rough, chunky texture from the oats and nuts and is topped with a small, whole pretzel covered in shiny orange jam. The cookies are light beige with bits of red and brown inside, and the jam glistens in the light, creating a contrast with the matte oat surface. The peach is fuzzy and orange with droplets of water, and the background has a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups salted mini pretzel twists, crushed
  • 1 cup chopped peaches
  • 1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
  • 1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup peach jam

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, crushed pretzels, chopped peaches, rolled oats, and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until all ingredients are well blended.
  3. Step 3: Scoop out about 3 tablespoons (a scant 1/4 cup) of dough per cookie and place mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to push any loose ingredients back into each mound so the cookies hold together.
  4. Step 4: Spoon about one teaspoon of peach jam over the top of each cookie. For extra decoration and crunch, gently press a whole pretzel onto the top if you like.
  5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to set fully. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Tips & Variations

  • Swap peach jam for apricot or strawberry jam if peaches aren’t in season or you want a different fruity twist.
  • Use fresh or frozen peaches—just make sure to drain any extra moisture from frozen before mixing.
  • For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the mixture.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cookie, try reducing the sweetened condensed milk slightly.

Storage

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. To enjoy them warm, simply reheat briefly in the microwave or oven before serving.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use dried peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use dried peaches, but chop them finely and soak in a little warm water to soften before mixing. This helps maintain the chewy texture and prevents dryness.

Are these cookies gluten-free?

They can be gluten-free if you use gluten-free rolled oats and pretzels. Otherwise, standard oats and pretzels may contain gluten, so check the labels if you need to avoid gluten.

  • These cookies keep well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a less sweet version, reduce the sweetened condensed milk by 1/4 cup and add a bit more oats.
