Ingredients

Cookie Dough

80 g unsalted butter

140 g powdered sugar

2 eggs, room temperature

6 g vanilla extract

10 g fresh lemon juice

370 g cake flour

Peach Filling

Fresh peaches, peeled and diced

Sugar, to taste

Lemon juice

Water

Peach skins (for natural color)

Optional: rose food coloring or cactus fruit powder diluted in water

Decoration

Fine sugar

Mint leaves

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

2. Mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice until the mixture is fully combined and smooth. Mix until fully combined.

3. Sift in the cake flour and stir until a soft dough forms. Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes before baking.

4. Divide the chilled dough into 18 g portions and roll into small balls. Arrange on a baking tray and bake at 170°C for approximately 15 minutes or until lightly golden.

5. To prepare the peach filling, place peach skins, diced peaches, water, sugar, and lemon juice into a saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat until the liquid develops a pinkish color and the peach skins lose their color. Remove the skins, then continue cooking the peaches until the mixture thickens. Let the jam cool completely. If a deeper pink shade is desired, stir in a small amount of diluted rose coloring or cactus fruit powder.

6. Once the cookies have cooled, carefully carve a small hollow into the bottom of each cookie using a knife or spoon. Fill the centers with peach jam and sandwich two cookies together.

7. Lightly brush or dip the cookies with diluted coloring, coat them in fine sugar, and finish with small mint leaves for a peach-inspired look.

8. For extra texture and flavor, you can mix the removed cookie crumbs into the peach filling before stuffing the cookies.

These summer peach sandwich cookies combine a soft cookie texture with sweet homemade peach filling for a dessert that looks just as lovely as it tastes. Their charming peach-inspired design makes them ideal for gifting, celebrations, or enjoying with a cup of tea on a warm afternoon. Serve them chilled or at room temperature for a light and refreshing seasonal treat.
