1-Getting started with Peach Magic Cookies: First, set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep things neat and prevent sticking. This quick prep sets the stage for cookies that turn out golden and full of flavor every time.

2-Next, take your salted mini pretzel twists and place them in a zip-top bag, then crush them with a rolling pin until you have a mix of coarse chunks and fine bits for that perfect crunch. In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, crushed pretzels, chopped fresh peaches, old-fashioned rolled oats, and sweetened condensed milk; mix well until everything is evenly coated and forms a sticky dough that’s ready to shape.

3-Scooping and Baking the Dough: Once your dough is mixed, scoop it into 3-tablespoon mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each mound with your hands to help it hold its shape don’t worry if it’s a bit sticky, that’s normal. For an extra touch, top each cookie with about 1 teaspoon of peach jam and spread it lightly for a sweet glaze.

4-Slide the sheet into the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, watching until the edges turn a light golden color. After baking, let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes so they can puff up and then settle into their final form. If you’re adapting for dietary needs, like using a coconut-based sweetened condensed milk, these steps work just as well to keep the texture light and chewy.
