I love pie crusts but I’d love it a lot more if the crust tasted like a cookie, a sugar cookie to be exact. Because we all know cookies just make everything better. (well at least I think so) Although cookies with frosting typically make everything better but I’ll settle for a sugar cookie crust as long as there’s something sweet on top….with dark rum. Oh and if the pie is hot out of the oven and it’s all mine. Then I’ll really forgive my sugar cookie crust for not having a load of frosting on top.
First you’ll need some peaches. These peaches are massive by the way.
Peel them, take out of the pits (of course) and slice them up. Measure out about 4 1/2 cups of peaches. Set the peach slices aside.
Now take some sugar cookie dough. I have no shame in using Pillsbury sugar cookie dough and neither should you.
Throw it into a bowl and add in 1/2 cup all purpose flour. Mix mix!
Put the sugar cookie crust into a 9 inch pie plate
And spread it out evenly, about 1/4 inch thick.
Pile the peach slices into the pie crust. Then place the pie in the refrigerator.
In a large saucepan, melt 3 Tablespoons of unsalted butter and then add in 3 Tablespoons of all purpose flour. Mix it up.
Throw in 3 Tablespoons packed light brown sugar and 3 Tablespoons sugar. Mix mix mix!
Pour in 1 Tablespoon of dark rum. Mix everything together to combine.
Take the pie crust out of the refrigerator and pour the sugar mixture over the peaches.
Spread it out and bake the pie at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes and then cover the sides of the crust with foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Total baking time = 50-55 minutes
Sugar Cookie Peach Pie
crust
1 (16.5 ounce) package sugar cookie dough
1/2 cup all purpose flour
filling
4 1/2 cups sliced peaches
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
3 Tablespoons packed light brown sugar
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon dark rum
Peel and slice the peaches. Measure out 4 1/2 cups. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the cookie dough and flour until combined. Press it out into a 9 inch pie plate. The sugar cookie crust should be about 1/4 inch thick.
Put the peaches in the sugar cookie pie crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium low heat. Add in the flour and mix to form a paste.
Then add in the sugar and mix to combine.
Pour in the dark rum and stir. Increase the heat to medium and cook for about 3 minutes.
Take the pie out of the refrigerator and pour the sugar rum mixture over the peaches. Spread it out.
Bake the pie at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Then put foil over the edges of the crust and bake for another 10-15 minutes
The total baking time is 50-55 minutes. If your pie doesn’t look done, continue baking for 10 more minutes.
Cool completely on a cooling rack.
Enjoy!
Nicely done with the sugar cookie crust! Sounds like the perfect pair with peaches.
No shame on the dough boy either! This looks delicious, those peaches look at their best!
Rum? Yes please!
Yum! That is such a good idea (using cookie dough). The pie looks delicious!
Sugar cookie crust is a great idea and rum..oh yea! Your pie looks fantastic, wish I had a piece right now!
The smartest thing I have seen all year. Easy.
Funny, I have the exat same thoughts when it comes to pastry dough. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I just want something more sweet. I just finished making a lemon meringue pie with a sweet tart dough crust, will be blogging about it soon.
What a great idea to use the cookie dough for a pie crust. I’m a backyard griller and smoker, and not a baker, but I’m assuming that’s your original idea.
That must taste great. I absolutely love peaches. Rums’ not so bad either!
Oh Sweetie you did it again..this looks so bright and delicious! I am loving this idea!
This is definitely a dish for those of us who love sweets! I love the pie crust – that was very clever. The pie looks delicious in all your photos.
It’s amazing to me sometimes the things that I overlook. I mean sugar cookie dough as pie crust…DUH!! You’re such a smart cookie
Yum!
Delicious and beautiful! I love peaches.
I LOVE the idea of making a sugar cookie crust! Must be delicious with the peaches

Mmmm, this looks delicious! I love pie crust, but I love the idea of a cookie crust even more!
What a stunningly beautiful pie–and Colorado peaches are in season right now. I used our last batch for ice cream, but this looks like an excellent weekend project.
Great dessert idea!! It looks delicious. For cookies lovers a delicacy!
My stomach is now growling
Super creative and beautiful! I have been experimenting a bit with peaches lately, too. They are so delicious right now!!
It does look fantastic. Does the sugar cookie get tough or is it flaky enough to work as a pie crust. How fun it is.
Brilliant! It’s like pie but better. Oh sugar cookie heaven! Buzzed ya too! I’m totally making this
You, you crazy woman, are a complete genius!
xoxo

What a creative recipe!!! Love that you used sugar cookie for the crust… genius!
Ya know… I have some sugar cookie dough in the fridge I was planning on using soon for a blog post. But…who needs blog posts right? I just need this pie. I really really do.
Oh my. This is making me want to make pie instead of go to bed. This is beautiful. Love, love, love it.
Your pie is beautiful. Never thought to make a sugar cookie crust. Peaches and rum, mmm. a great combo.

i am smitten with the idea of a sugar cookie crust!!
Looks delicious!! I love the idea of using sugar cookies for the crust … yum!!
lovely pictures pie looks wonderful
Hankering after giving this a bash. Gutted that we don’t have ready made cookie dough in our shops in the UK. Can you suggest a good sugar cookie dough recipe?
My favorite sugar cookie dough recipe is on my blog under recipes.
Lindsey, I swear you know exactly how to take a classic recipe and amp it up to make it spectacular! NOTHING is better than a pie crust that involves cookies…Oreo crust, gingersnap crust, and now….sugar cookie crust! I love it
Thanks for sharing!
This looks delish! Don’t get me wrong, but I don’t usually cook with it. I’m a huge fan of rum but I’m just wondering how much you can taste it (if at all) and if there’s anything I might be able to substitute it for?
Yes you can definitely taste it. It’s not too strong but the taste is there. You can just use water in place of rum.
I totally love this pie! Especially with the rum!
mmm…love the cookie crust!! i was just thinking about an easy to do cookie crust recipe for my peaches!! awesome!
This looks like one terrific pie!
Okay, so I have this pie in the oven, buti changed it a little based on what have on hand (not going to the store on Christmas Eve!). I used packaged sugar cookie mix, adding 1/2c more flour, otherwise, made according to directions (egg, butter). I used frozen peach slices and mixed berries (rasp, black, cherry, blue), and substituted Chambord for the rum. I will let you know how it turns out! Thanks for the post; I was thinking to myself, “what can I ake a crust of…I have sugar cookie mix…let’s look on the web,”…and here i found your recipe!
