Description

These Peach Cookies are soft, tender sandwich cookies filled with a creamy apricot dulce de leche filling and decorated to look like peaches. With their fruity sweetness and eye-catching presentation, they’re perfect for parties, holidays, or special occasions.


Ingredients

Cookies:
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
8 tbsp softened butter
2 tbsp sour cream (heaping)
1 tbsp mayonnaise (heaping)
1 tsp baking powder
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 heaping tsp baking soda diluted in 1 tbsp lemon juice

Filling:
2 oz cream cheese
2 tbsp softened butter
5 oz dulce de leche
2 tbsp apricot jam
3 oz cool whip

Decoration:
1 cup milk
Red food coloring
Orange food coloring
3/4 cup sugar


Instructions

  1. Whisk eggs and sugar until combined. Stir in butter, sour cream, mayonnaise, and baking soda mixture.
  2. Mix flour with baking powder, then add to wet mixture. Knead until dough resembles soft playdough.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into heaping teaspoon-sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake 15 minutes. While warm, carve out bottoms of cookies to make space for filling.
  5. For filling: beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in dulce de leche and apricot jam, then fold in cool whip until fluffy.
  6. Fill cookies and press two halves together to form peach shapes. Chill at least 2 hours.
  7. For decoration: dilute half of the milk with red food coloring and the other half with orange. Dip one half of each cookie in orange and the other in red. Place on paper towels to set.
  8. Roll cookies in sugar (once or twice for sparkle). Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Use peach jam instead of apricot for a variation.

Add vanilla extract to filling for extra richness.

Decorate with mint leaves or candy stems for realistic peaches.

Freeze unfilled cookies up to 2 months; fill and decorate before serving.
