Bake a Batch of Peaches Cookies
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups peach preserves
- 2 ounces amaretto liqueur
- 1 tablespoon water
- 4 (4 -6 ounce) packages peach Jell-O
- 34 cup granulated sugar
- Preheat oven to 350.
- COOKIE:.
- Mix eggs, oil and sugar with electric mixer.
- On low add flour and baking powder and blend well to make a sticky dough but still enough to handle.
- Just make sure that it is not too dry so that it becomes brittle after baking because it will harden quite a bit while cooling.
- Eyeball the dough if you need to add flour by all means do so just use a light hand.
- Let dough rest at room temp for 10 minutes.
- Roll the dough into balls the size of a rounded teaspoon.
- Try to roll the balls all the same size because you will need to sandwich them together.
- I make golf ball sizes because I like a two bite cookie.
- Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Careful not to overbake.
- Remove cookie sheet from the oven when done.
- Use a metal spatula to remove cookies from sheet and onto a wire rack to cool.
- FILLING:.
- Combine peach preserves, amaretto liqueur and water with a wooden spoon.
- When cookies are cool, use a pairing knife to scoop out the undersides (flat sides) just slightly to make a pocket and careful not to break the cookie.
- Crumble the scooped bits into fine crumbs and add this to the filling mixture.
- Match pairs of cookies that fit well together.
- Fill matching pairs of cookies with filling, letting it seep out the seam slightly.
- Press flat ends together to form a circular ball (doesn't have to be exactly perfect - THINK OF PEACHES) Using your fingers rub extra filling in a thin layer around each peach.
- While still moist, roll in powdered Jello-o.
- Then roll in plain granulated sugar as a finish coat.
- Store in a cool place.
- Add a small piece of stick pretzel to top for stem and you can also add a green leaf (mint, or anything just for decoration).
- There, now you've made Peaches.
- If you want to get even fancier: Dip half of your cookie in peach Jell-o and then the other half in cherry Jell-o then in your sugar.
- This will give it the nice peachy color and the red color of natural peaches.
