How to Make Italian Peaches Cookies

The prettiest cookie ever, Pesche con Crema or Italian Peaches. I've been making these for years and this video includes two techniques. One for moulds and one traditional hand shaped.

Peaches are a labor of love wherever the Cookie Table tradition is popular. I've been hired by many mothers and aunts to make them for weddings, baptisms, anniversaries, graduations and any other celebration you can imagine. They bring so much color to a dessert table.

I've had Peaches in Italy and the dough they use is a yeasted brioche, this is not that recipe. This is a cake like cookie filled with peach or apricot jam and cream. They're best served the day after making so all the flavors can meld.

I dip mine in a combination of peach liqueur and limoncello and the taste is very light. They're "painted" with food coloring and rolled in sugar for the pretty peach look. I make fondant leaves but you can buy plastic or use fresh basil or parsley leaves too for decoration.

Thanks for watching!
