Peach Cookies
Description
This Peach Cookies recipe begins by whipping eggs and sugar to a pale foam, then incorporating oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and flour to form a dough. The dough is shaped into small walnut-sized balls, baked at 180 degrees Celsius until just firm. After cooling slightly, a cavity is made in each cookie top, and the scooped crumbs are mixed with peach or apricot jam to create a filling. Two cookies are sandwiched around the jam mixture. The sandwich cookies are then dipped in milk tinted with yellow and red food coloring, immediately coated in granulated sugar to create a sparkling, colorful exterior. The cookies can be decorated with mint leaves for presentation. The texture is soft and lightly sweet, with a fruity jam center providing moistness and flavor contrast. Alternative fillings or omitting food coloring are possible without compromising taste.
Ingredients
- 3 egg
- 125 g sugar
- 125 ml vegetable oil
- 425 g plain flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon yellow food colouring
- 1 tablespoon red food colouring
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar to sprinkle over
- 1 cup peach jam or apricot jam or any filling of choice
- mint leaves to decorate, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- To make the dough, use a hand mixer or the kitchen aid to mix the eggs and sugar until foamy and pale yellow.
- Add the oil, and mix well again.
- Add the vanilla extract, baking powder and flour, and mix to form a dough. Add a bit more flour if the dough is still sticky.
- Use your hands to shape small balls about the size of a walnut.
- Line 2 baking trays with non-stick perchament paper, then arrange the balls onto it.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes until no longer soft, then remove from the oven and leave to cool a bit, before making a well in the middle of each cookie with a sharp knife.
- Mix the scooped cookie crumbs with the jam, then fill each cookie, and sandwich two together to make a peach cookie.
- In one cup of milk, add the yellow food colouring, and in the second the red one.
- Dip each cookie into each bowl of milk, then toss into the granulated sugar.
- Decorate with mint leaves, and leave to dry before serving.
Notes
- Allow cookies to cool sufficiently before filling to prevent mess and maintain shape during assembly.
- If food coloring is not available, the cookies can be dipped in plain milk and coated with sugar for a simple finish.
- Jam can be replaced with any preferred cream or fruit filling according to taste.
- Measurements are convertible between metric and US customary; serving sizes can be adjusted as needed.
