I love to bake. And to try new recipes. Yet sometimes they just don't turn out the way I expect. Recently I tried a new almond refrigerator cookie recipe. It was a disaster - the dough was way too dry and crumbly to hold a cookie shape. So I invented a new cookie crumb peach cobbler recipe.
PinFeel free to adapt this recipe to use up whatever cookie dough or cookie crumbs you have on hand.
Using up your stale cookies? Crush them in a plastic bag by hand or with a roller. You'll need about two cups of stale cookie crumbs for one pan of peach cobbler.

Now I don't like to waste food. And I'm always trying to find ways to save money. Plus we live a long way from town (and the dump).
And I'm on a mission to minimize our family's waste production. So I'm always on the lookout to try or create recipes from leftovers. This cookie crumb peach cobbler recipe is my latest. Enjoy!
And before I forget, if you're trying to find ways to use up your leftover chocolate chips, dried cherries, cranberries, coconuts, seeds and/or nuts, check out our new This and That Bar recipe!
Variations and Tips
Use these ideas to change the recipe to suit your family's taste buds!
- Add a touch of spice to the cookie crumb or cookie dough mixture.
- A pinch of ginger or a pinch of cinnamon works well.
- Use up your stale ginger snap, plain biscuits, Digestive or Oatmeal cookies.
- Got blueberries? Add half a cup to the peach mixture.
- Freeze your second pan of peach cobbler. Let it fully defrost then warm it at 275 for 10 minutes before serving.
- If you're using raw cookie dough, the drier the better. The longer it stays in the fridge, the drier it gets.

So the only reason I used the already-baked cookie dough in this instance is because I just had so much of it and it was far too crumbly to use as actual cookies. Definitely crush your snickerdoodles and use those crumbs instead. You could also try using Biscoff Cookies. Really, any stale cookies would work!

So I have a bunch of snickerdoodle cookies leftover. ( I know hard to believe). I was looking to crush them up and sprinkle them on top of peaches. Your way is to basically make a batch of cookie dough? How can I use my leftover cookies?
