PEACH COOKIES

PEACH COOKIES RECIPE

How to make peach cookies at home, this is an amazing cookie recipe. Cookie rounds hollowed out and filled with a delicious caramel filling and looks like a miniature peach.

This recipe serves 20-25 peach cookies. I love these peach cookies, they are so delicate, so beautiful and look incredible on a plate. These cookies are generally saved and baked for special occasions, Bridal Showers, Weddings and Religious Holidays.  

They take a little more effort than your average batch of cookies but the end result is definitely worth the extra effort. These cookies were so fun to make and decorate. Do not store these cookies in a container as they will go soggy. It is best to leave them outside.

Ingredients:

250g butter, softened 

150g sugar

2 eggs, room temperature

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

750g flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

Caramel Filling:

1 can of caramel - you can make your own by boiling a can of condensed milk

Cookie crumbs

Decoration:

150g cups sugar, might need more or less

Fresh mint

To make the peach colors look natural, I have used the following measures, but this might depend on your food coloring:

Yellow colour:

120g milk

35 drops yellow food coloring

1 drops red

Orange colour :

120g milk

20 drops yellow food coloring

60 drops red food coloring

Directions 

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180 C or 350 F. 


Step 2: Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl with the paddle attachment on a standing mixer or using a hand mixer until fluffy.


Step 3: Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.


Step 4: Whisk the flour and baking powder in a small bowl until mixed. Add to the cookie batter and mix just until incorporated. I like to do it by hand with a spatula. 


Step 5: Form balls about half tbsp each and place about 1½ inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6: Bake the cookies for about 11 minutes and then let them cool completely.


Step 7: Using a serrated knife cut out a circle from the center of the bottom of the cookie, leaving a small border on the outside. Scoop out the center. Be very gentle when doing this since the cookie is very fragile and may break if you're not careful.


Step 8: Leave all the cookie crumbs in a bowl. Add 1 can of caramel and mix well. 



To create the cookies:


Step1 : Fill the scooped out center of the cookie with the filling using a small spoon.


Step2: Place two of the cookies filling side together and gently press together.


Step 3: Take 3 small bowls and fill one with sugar and the other two with the dyed milk. Dip half of the pastry in the Yellow liquid and coat in the sugar.


Step 4: Dip the other side of the pastry in the Orange liquid and also dip in the sugar.


Step 5: Place the pastries on an aluminum lined cookie sheet and dry for at least 1 hour. Step 6: Right before serving, place a mint leaf in the center of some of the pastries and serve.
