Ingredients

5 cups sliced peaches
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup coconut sugar
16 ounces sugar cookie dough
½ cup rolled oats, plus ¼ cup
3 tablespoons butter cut in pieces
¼ cup brown sugar plus 4 tablespoons

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Arrange the sliced peaches in a 9 x 13" baking dish. Add the coconut sugar and vanilla extract; stir to coat.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar cookie dough and rolled oats.
Crumble the mixture on top of the peaches. Take little pieces in your fingers and place all over the top of the peaches. Perfection is not required here. **Dust a little flour on your fingers if the dough gets too sticky.
Sprinkle the butter pieces, the remaining ¼ cup of oats and ¼ cup brown sugar over the top.
Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Frozen peaches can be substituted for fresh.
If using fresh peaches - you can peel them or not, it's up to you. I find the peels soften while cooking and are a lot less labor intensive.
If using canned peaches - I like to rinse any syrup off canned peaches before adding them. I much prefer fresh or frozen peaches over canned, but these will work in a pinch.
If top is not golden brown and crisp after you are finished baking, you can pop it under the broiler for a couple minutes. Just be sure to watch it carefully as the sugar will burn quickly.
Let the cobbler rest for 30 minutes after removing it from the oven - this allows the juices to set.
To freeze: Wrap the cobbler in freezer safe plastic wrap then wrap in a generous amount of foil. This will help to keep the moisture out. You can also divide the cobbler in portions and freeze individually in freezer safe containers. It should keep in the freezer for about 6 months.
To reheat: Let it come to room temperature for about an hour. Then place it in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until warmed through. It can also be microwaved, however, the cobbler will be slightly more mushy if done this way.

How to Peel Fresh Peaches

Place the whole peaches in a large pot of boiling water for about 20 seconds. Remove them and place them in a bowl of ice water. The skin should easily come off after they have cooled enough to touch.
