If you LOVE a quick summer treat with cozy cookie vibes and none of the junk, gluten or grains then you're going to fall in love with these Peaches & Cream Cookies that come together so fast! They're soft, sweet, and bursting with fresh peach flavor—and the best part? They're made from a box of Simple Mills Vanilla Cake mix. Yes! I'm serious!
PS - If you omit the frosting these are totally paleo-friendly!
No need to measure out a dozen ingredients or dirty every bowl in your kitchen. With just a handful of clean, wholesome ingredients and a few minutes of prep, you’ll have soft, golden cookies that taste like peach pie and a sugar cookie had a baby.
Simple Mills is one of my favorite baking shortcuts because their cake mixes and baking mixes are made with almond flour and other real-food ingredients—no gluten, no refined sugar, and no weird additives. It's perfect for mamas who want to make a tasty summer cookie fast. Just mix the cake mix with a few pantry staples like almond flour, olive oil (or melted coconut oil), eggs, freeze dried peaches and some vanilla. Bake, frost and share with people you love... That’s it.
INGREDIENTS
2 eggs
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup almond flour
1 Tablespoon vanilla
Frosting:
1 container Miss Jones Bakes Organic Vanilla Frosting
2 bags Organic freeze dried peaches, blended into powder
splash vanilla & vanilla bean powder (optional)
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, olive oil, powdered freeze dried peaches, almond flour and vanilla extract. Mix well. Using a cookie scoop (about 1.5-2TB size) scoop balls of dough onto a cookie sheet and press down slightly. Bake for 12 minutes and allow to fully cool before frosting cookies.
While cookies cool, mix together vanilla frosting with blended freeze dried peaches, vanilla and vanilla powder. It will change a little in texture (and become thicker. Spread on cookies and top with sprinkles. Keep on counter for 1-3 days or in fridge for a week. For more delicious recipes check out my cookbook Eat Real Food.
