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!).

Followed recipe as written with ingredients as written, and they are delightful. I’m wondering if some of the people that had issues didn’t use shredded coconut but rather shaved. Just a thought.
Hey Nancy! Thank you SO much for this input, I really appreciate it! I am so glad you enjoyed these magic cookies! xT
I made these cookies today, probably a little larger than suggested, but they still turned out golden and yummy. Thank you for the recipe.
Hi there! Thank you so much for trying out these cookies! I’m so glad you loved them, they’re such a fun summer treat! 🙂 xT
Easy recipe and they are great after freezing. I think the success or failure of this recipe will be decided on how good the peaches are. A couple of suggestions that I think would improve the recipe. Elminate the pretzels on the top. They take away from the peach flavor and get soggy over time. Maybe add another 1/4 cup of peaches to get a stronger peach flavor. Also, it took closer to 25 to 30 minutes to bake inorder to get a light golden brown on the bottom.
Thank you SO much Mel! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies! Thank you for the feedback, it’s always appreciated! xT
Made these today and we loved them! Peaches are in season here in the south so I was excited to try your recipe.
Will make these again! Thank you!
Thank you so much Kathy! I am so glad you’re enjoying these magic cookies! Perfect for peach season! 🙂 xT
I thought these would be like a magic cookie, they were not. The texture is bad, and makes them almost inedible. I baked them 14 min and they barely browned on top. They were quite salty too.
Hey Mari, I’m so sorry this recipe didn’t work out well for you! Thank you for the feedback.
Have a nice Sunday! xT
I love anything with sweetened condensed milk, but these were strange. Such a weird texture, basically the consistency of thick oatmeal you leave out until it cools and congeals. They never got brown for me either.
Hey Greta! So sorry these didn’t turn out for you! Thank you for the feedback! Have a great weekend! xT
These were not good at all. The texture was very dense and they were quite salty. My kids did not like them at all. These also do not look good, I would not serve to guests.
Hey Jessie, I am really sorry to hear you didnt like these cookies. I am sorry they did not work out for you. Let me know if I can answer any questions to help you!
Thanks for the feedback and have a great day! xT
Yummy easy quick cookies. And just a little different
Thank you SO much Wendy! So glad to hear you enjoyed these cookies! xT
Just wondering – in the description you say to use old fashioned rolled oats, but in the recipe it says quick oats. Which is the right one for these cookies?
Hey Heidi! Either will work but I prefer old fashioned oats for these cookies. Sorry for the confusion!
Hope you enjoy the cookies! Have a great weekend! xT
These just missed the mark. They didn’t taste good and looked really unappetizing.
Hey Paige! I am so sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe, thank you for the feedback! Is there anything you’d change about them in particular? xT
These turned out so stodgy and dry/crumbly.
Hey Ben! I am so sorry you didn’t enjoy these! Thank you for trying out the recipe, I appreciate the honest input! xT
Do you have to add the peach jam on top?
Hi Tracy! You can omit the peach jam if you’d like! xT
Wow! These are fantastic! I was reading the comments while baking and was nervous. I love them!
Thanks for the easy recipe! Love peach season!
Hi Arlene! Thank you SO much! I am so glad you loved the cookies! They’re a quick and easy treat! 🙂 xT
So confused! I bought all ingredients shown in the email for peach, white chocolate, coconut magic cookies but when reading the instructions, there’s no mention of white chocolate chips! None!
Hey Paula, that is so weird! Are you sure about the white chocolate? That’s not an ingredient in this cookie recipe and never was 🤔 how weird! Can you send me the email?
I am so sorry for any trouble! No ideal what was sent to you!!!
Did you make the cookies? Regardless I hope you love them 🍑 xT
I saw a comment about the cat you had years ago… you didn’t address it! Can you tell us where Snape went??
Hi! We gave him to a friend when we started traveling a lot! 🙂 xT
Anyway to use condensed coconut milk? Sweetened too
Hey Esther! Yes I’m sure the condensed coconut milk should work just fine! xT
Several in my family don’t like coconut. Is there a substitute you can suggest?
Hey Candice! I haven’t ever tried this recipe without the coconut before so I can’t say for sure! I am so sorry! xT
Did you use fresh frozen or dried coconut?
Hi there! I use dried coconut in this recipe! Hope you enjoy! xT
