Peach Cookies Recipe
Another one of my “vintage recipes”, this time for Italian peach cookies. Very popular back in 80’s, theses cookies got well known for their unique look: peach cookies looking so much like the real fruit but tasting nothing like a peach:) I’ve tried a few different recipes for these peach cookies ,this one turned out really good, so let’s stick to this one for now, until I make up my mind and come up with another recipe or variation ,as usual:)
This one is a simple and very good tasting cookie and the entire process of making is quite entertaining as if you’re doing some kind of arts and crafts project.
Let’s get to the business and start making some peach cookies!
I hope you try my recipe and share your feedback on my social media pages. You can always reach me out on Facebook and instagram.
Can’t wait to hear from you .
Happy baking!

To assemble & decorate the cookies you will need
About 1 cup of coarse or fine granulated sugar ( I mix both kinds )
1 1/2 cups of peach or any juice, divided, half for orange color, the other half for pink (you can use food coloring)
Or use fresh beetroot juice for the pink and carrot juice for orange color
Fresh green leaves to decorate,I use the ones from my citrus trees ( optional )

In a mixing bowl on high speed beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy and pale color

Using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon spoon the dough and make balls ( for bigger cookies use 2 tbs)
