6 Ingredient Peach Magic Cookies. Made with shredded coconut, salty pretzels, sweet chopped peaches, oats, and a can of sweetened condensed milk. Just mix, scoop, and bake. For even more peachy goodness, add a spoonful of peach jam to each cookie before baking. These take just minutes to prep, and kind of like magic, you’ll have warm, golden cookies with bits of sweet summer peach. Nothing fancy—just simple, nostalgic, and totally delicious!

I’m so excited to be sharing these cookies! This recipe is easy, no-fuss, and honestly… kind of magic. You won’t believe how quickly they come together or how good they taste—especially if you have sweet, ripe peaches on hand.

I based the recipe on my magic cookie bars. So many of you love those five-ingredient cookies, and these are a fun peachy twist! I swapped cashews for salty pretzel twists and ditched the chocolate chips in favor of chopped yellow peaches and a little jam on top.

I wasn’t sure how they’d bake up, but they turned out better than expected. Soft, chewy, sweet, a little salty—these are my new favorite treats.

Peach season is the best—so short, so sweet—and these are the perfect cookies to bake while it lasts!

Here are the details

Ingredients

  • unsweetened fine shredded coconut – I like the Bob’s Red Mill brand
  • salted mini pretzels twist
  • peaches – you could use frozen chopped peaches too, but fresh are ideal
  • old-fashioned rolled oats
  • sweetened condensed milk – the magic ingredient
  • peach jam – if you can pick this up at a farm stand, even better!

Special Tools

You need just a mixing bowl and a cookie sheet for these peach cookies.

Steps

Step 1: Mix the cookie dough

Grab a big mixing bowl and toss everything in—except the peach jam! The order doesn’t matter, just mix it all up until the sweetened condensed milk evenly coats the ingredients. The dough will be sticky, and that’s exactly what you want.

For the pretzels, I add whole pretzel twists to a zip-top bag and give them a good smash with a rolling pin (or the bottom of a mug!). You’ll want a mix of bigger chunks and some finely crushed bits for the best texture.

Step 2: Scoop

Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough. I usually do 9 cookies per baking sheet, but it depends on the size of your pan.

If any of your scoops look too loose, just press them together a bit with your hands. These cookies don’t need to be perfect or uniform, so don’t stress!

Gently flatten each cookie and then spoon about a teaspoon of peach jam over the top of each one.

Step 3: Bake

Bake the cookies at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes. I usually pull them out around the 12-minute mark.

Let the cookies finish setting up right on the baking sheet. They might look a little puffed when they come out, but give them a few minutes—they’ll settle into sweet little peachy rounds.

Make them extra cute!

This is optional, but I love pressing a mini pretzel twist into the top of each cookie just after baking. The peach jam acts like a glaze and makes every cookie feel extra special (and extra delicious!).

    1. Hi Erica,
      I would bake for 30 minutes. Please let me know if you give this recipe a try, I hope it turns out well for you! xx

    These turned out quite yummy!!! A few things….I was confused by the description in the post calling out old fashioned rolled oats but quick oats being listed in the ingredients. I went with the old fashioned oats. Here’s where I think things could create problems….shredded vs finely shredded coconut….I used finely shredded because that’s what I had, but I don’t think just regular shredded would work as well. Here’s the major part………….THE PEACHES!!!!!!! My peaches were VERY ripe and therefore VERY juicy. Once they were baked (which took quite a bit longer than stated in the recipe to get golden, but they did eventually!) they were still quite sticky and didn’t want to hold together. I attribute this to my peaches being so juicy. Next time, if my “dough” is still that wet, I’ll be sure to add a bit more crushed pretzels and rolled oats to get the “dough” to be a more firm consistency. I also would just put a few pieces of pretzel on the top and not the whole. It was difficult to get the pretzel to break when taking a bite of the cookie, so having pieces will make it easier to eat. Not quite as pretty, but that’s okay for me!

    1. Hi Becca! Thanks so much for sharing all your notes! I love hearing how your tweaks worked out, and it makes total sense that super juicy peaches would make the cookies stickier! Adding a bit more oats or pretzels next time sounds like a smart fix, and leaving bigger pretzel pieces on top is a great tip for easier bites. So glad they still turned out yummy! xT

    1. Hi Kris! So glad these cookies worked well for you with the coconut condensed milk! Thanks for giving the recipe a try! xT
