Peach Cookies – Nutella filled sandwich cookies that look like peaches! These cookies are a show stopper and will look beautiful on your Holiday cookie tray.
I’m serving up some serious Holiday cookies today: PEACH COOKIES!
FYI: there’s no real peaches in here. The cookies just LOOK like a peach, and they are adorable.
I have been meaning to share this recipe with you since the beginning of Diethood. So, like, for 6 years or so. I never got around to it because I would rather share chicken dinner recipes with you than cookie recipes. Honestly.
Besides, a cookie without a stick of butter just doesn’t cut it… and I try to stay far away from a recipe that would need more than a few tablespoons of butter.
BUUUUT! When the Holidays roll around, I just can’t help it. All I want to do is share the Holiday cookies that my Mama used to and still makes.
In complete honesty? I just enjoy the feeling of making AND sharing my childhood food memories with you… is that odd?! Nostalgia makes me do it!
My best favorite ever are these Strawberry Cream Cheese Pastries Pleeeease try them.
I also love my Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies!
My second favorite ever are these Peach Cookies. I try my darn hardest to limit myself to one a day because they are almost 200 calories per cookie (yowza) and they are quite big – it’s 2 cookies sandwiched together with nutella in the middle, and a generous coating of sugar on top.
When I was little, my mom used to tell us that they weren’t meant for eating, they were on the cookie tray just for decor… Good one, Mama…good one.
SO! The cookie dough is prepared with flour, oil, milk, eggs and sugar. If you can tell by the picture above, it’s a pretty thick, sticky dough. You’ll pop it in the fridge for about 30-some minutes before shaping the cookies into little balls and placing them on a baking sheet.
The cookies need about 10 to 12 minutes in the oven. Once cooled enough to handle, you will cut a small circle at the bottom of the cookie and remove the cookie centers.
In the meantime, you will take those cookie crumbs that you just cut out and mix them together with the Nutella. This is going to be our filling.
Your next step involves filling each cookie with the nutella mixture, and then sandwiching two cookies together. See how they’re coming along?! I looove them!
The only thing left to do is dip one side of each cookie in the red-colored peach liqueur, and the other side of the cookie should be dipped in the yellow-colored peach liqueur. IF you do not want to use liqueur, use milk. FYI: If you go with the milk, know that the cookie will be missing that peachy-flavor.
A sprinkle of sugar and few mint leaves later, the cookies will be done and ready for you and family and friends to devour.
ENJOY!
