Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Peach or apricot jam
- 2 tablespoons Peach schnapps or food coloring (optional, for color)
- 0.75 cup Coarse sugar (for coating)
- Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Roll small portions of dough into walnut-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cookies cool, prepare the filling. Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Gently fold in the peach jam until well combined.
Once the cookies are cool, use a small knife or spoon to hollow out the bottoms of the cookies slightly, creating a cavity for the filling.
Fill each hollow with a small dollop of the cream filling and press two cookies together to form a 'peach' shape.
For coloring, brush the assembled cookies lightly with peach schnapps or dab with food coloring diluted in water to give them a peach-like blush. Optionally, roll the cookies in coarse sugar for a sparkly coating.
Garnish with a mint leaf tucked into the top of each peach cookie for a realistic effect.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
