Steps:
- Optional but highly recommended to measure out all the ingredients first and set aside
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, add eggs and sugar and beat with whisk attachment for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy
- add the oil all at once and mix until blended
- add the milk and mix until blended
- Combine the baking powder with the flour and then add to the mixing bowl with egg mixture and combine until very soft dough forms (see photo)
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and set into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours
- preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line baking sheets with silicone baking sheet or parchment paper
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion dough into approximately 60 to 64 cookies. The shape should be round with a slightly flattened top (see photo)
- please note that this is a sticky dough! use cooking spray to help prevent dough from sticking to hands when forming cookies
- bake in oven for about 25 to 28 minutes. Note that these cookies are intentionally overbaked so that they can withstand the dipping step and not fall apart. That said, do not burn the cookies! They should have a golden color.
- After cookies are baked, carve them while they are still warm.
- The cookies should be cool enough to handle but still warm enough to allow carving. If they are cool, the cookies will be more likely to break when you try to carve the bottom out
- Using a small knife with a pointed tip, carve out the bottom (see photo) so that they can be filled with pastry cream.
- After all cookies have been carved, store them in a sealed container until ready to fill and decorate
- Note that this recipe makes a little more cream than needed; the extra pastry cream is delicious enjoyed alone!
- Also note that the sugar is divided, so please use sugar number 1 in first part of recipe and sugar number 2 in second part as described below
- Combine milk and sugar number 1 in a medium sized sauce pan/pot and heat until slightly boiling over medium high heat
- In the meantime, combine the cornstarch with sugar number 2 and then add to the eggs and mix well but do not introduce too much air
- After milk come to slight boil, pour about 1/3 of it into the egg/sugar/cornstarch mixture while whisking vigorously
- Return this egg mixture back to the pot containing the remaining milk/sugar mixture and heat over medium high heat for 2 minutes while whisking constantly. Mixture will become very thick. Whisk well continuously and make sure to stir the bottom of pot and bottom edges of pot to avoid scorching
- Remove pot from stove, add butter, and stir well until all butter is melted
- If using liquor, add to finished cream and combine well.
- Cover with plastic wrap (ensure the top of the cream is in direct contact with plastic wrap or film will develop)
- Cool and then store in the refrigerator until ready to use
- Add 1 cup of water, sugar, lemon and orange peels, cinnamon stick, peach jello, and vanilla extract to a pan and set over the stove. Heat and stir over medium flame for about 5 minutes
- Add a bit of the red food coloring (one drop at a time), and stir until desired color is achieved.
- Remove mixture/pan from flame and add remaining cup of water to dilute the mixture and cool it down a bit.
- Optional, add peach liquor to taste (add 2 tablespoons at a time and taste as you go)
- Organize an area for decorating cookies
- Set out everything you'll need: the carved cookies, the dipping syrup for dipping, and the pastry cream to fill the cookies. You may also need some paper towels to wipe up if the syrup drips. You will also need a baking tray lined with parchment or aluminum foil.
- We typically dip, fill, and put together one cookie at a time.
- Although most cookies should be similar in size, it might help to match up 2 cookies before proceeding to the dip, fill stage
- Dip 2 cookies (I dunk them three times), let excess syrup drip off, then fill each half with pastry cream and join the cookies together like a sandwich. Wipe excess cream that may ooze out with finger and place on nonstick paper lined baking sheet. Note that you should use a small and deep container to dip the cookies as the syrup starts to run low to make things easier.
- Continue until all the cookies are dipped, filled and joined together
- place the tray of cookies in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or so until they have dried slightly and then sprinkle with sugar (NOT powdered sugar but regular granulated sugar) and insert leaves to decorate. We use a sugar shaker but you can sprinkle with tablespoon.
- Cookies can be made 3 or 4 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. They do not need to be covered as they should be quite moist and are not subject to drying out quickly.
- Pastry cream can be made ahead and stored for 2 days
- More tips on making pastry cream here
- It is not recommended to freeze pastry cream (see explanation in link above); however, you may freeze cookies ahead of time and then fill and decorate a day before needed.

Steps:
- For the pastry cream: Whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the milk, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking until the sugar is dissolved.
- Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch and egg yolks with the remaining 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the bowl while whisking, then add all of the mixture back to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly; let boil until thickened, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then stir in the preserves, schnapps and almond extract. Cool the pastry cream slightly, then cover the surface directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold.
- For the cookies: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the sugar, milk, butter, nectar, schnapps and eggs in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth to make a thick, sticky dough.
- Lightly grease your hands with the oil and roll tablespoons of the dough into balls, arranging them about 1 1/2 inches apart on the lined baking sheets. Bake one sheet at a time, until the undersides of the cookies are golden and the tops are just set, about 15 minutes. Cool just a few minutes. While the cookies are still warm, use a sharp paring knife to cut an approximately 1-inch-wide teaspoon-sized divot into the flat side of each cookie (be careful not to pierce the tops or sides of the cookies). Bake the other sheet of cookies and cut out the divots. Cool the cookies completely.
- Spoon a heaping teaspoon of pastry cream into each cookie, then sandwich 2 similar-looking ones together to make a peach shape, cleaning off any pastry cream that squeezes out of the seams. At this point, the cookies may not stick together very well; prop them up next to each other to keep their shape.
- For decorating: Combine the nectar and almond extract in a small bowl and add enough food coloring to make it bright red, about 8 drops. Put the sugar in another bowl.
- Working one at a time, paint each peach cookie all over with the red nectar mixture using a medium paintbrush, then roll in the sugar to coat thoroughly. Make sure the cookies are still nicely sandwiched and place in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan (the cookies should fit snugly in the baking pan so that they keep their shape). Cover the dish with plastic and refrigerate 8 hours and up to overnight (this will blend the flavors and also set the pastry cream to keep the cookies together).
- Just before serving, garnish each cookie with a clove and mint sprig to look like little stems.

PESCHE - ITALIAN PEACHES COOKIES
Labor-intensive, but well worth the effort. These cookies are typically only served at weddings or special holidays because they require a gathering of women to increase the rate of production and the fun. My cousins and I spent countless holidays sneaking into the freezer to snag a tasty frozen peach. Finally, we convinced my nonna to teach us how to make this special peaches and we have enjoyed making them ever since. They freeze well and are actually better if frozen immediately and taken out when needed. These are meant to be enjoyed with many friends and family and they NEVER disappoint. In fact, after living in Italy for two years, I learned that my nonna's peaches were better than any I could find in Italy. I think some recipes have been corrupted by modern conveniences, but my nonna's recipe has not changed since she immigrated in the 50's.

Steps:
- No need for a mixer - just cream butter and sugar with a wooden spoon, add eggs, continue to cream and then add lemon juice. Add almond extract (the amount is negotiable, and I tend to add a little bit more because I like mine very almondy). Combine baking powder with 3 cups of flour and add to slowly to creamed ingredients -- mix only with your hands! Add the rest of the flour until dough is not sticky. It takes some practice to get the texture perfect. You may have to add a little more flour to get it just right. You do not want it to be too greasy as the cookies will not rise well.
- Roll cookies into balls with about 1 tbsp worth of dough. Bake cookies at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes -- watch until start to turn golden. Let cookies cool fully (sometimes I cook them the night before and let them sit out to dry). When cool, carve insides out to make room for pudding.
- Make two bowls of water and vanilla extract. Add yellow food coloring to one and red and yellow to other. Add just a few drops as you just want a light coloring. Have another small bowl of sugar ready for dipping.
- Fill one cookie with chocolate pudding and one with vanilla pudding and stick together. Dip "peach" half way into one colored water and then walf into the other. Sprinkle or dip in sugar (don't go overboard on sugar, you just need a little sprinkle as a finishing touch). Put in cupcake paper and freeze immediately. Take out and that when needed.

Steps:
- Pastry cream:.
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring half and half to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, vigorously whisk egg yolks, sugar and salt until thick and pale yellow; add cornstarch and whisk until completely smooth. Whisking constantly, gradually add warm half and half. Return mixture to saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until custard is very thick and paste-like in texture, and begins to boil, about 6 minutes. Add peach preserves and vanilla and stir until completely incorporated. Transfer to a medium bowl and cover with plastic, pressing directly onto surface of custard, and chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
- Cookies:.
- Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until combined. Whisk eggs and sugar in another bowl until foamy. Add milk, peach juice, butter, vanilla and orange zest and whisk until combined. Fold wet mixture into the dry until dough comes together and no lumps of flour remain. Batter will be very thick and sticky.
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment; set aside. Rub hands with melted butter to prevent the dough from sticking and roll a tablespoon of dough firmly between your palms to make a smooth, round ball. Repeat with remaining dough (and more butter if necessary) arranging balls on prepared baking sheets spaced 1" apart, 24 balls per sheet. Balls should be uniform in size and shape. Rub hands with butter and lightly flatten each ball, they will round out slightly and look more peach-like as they bake. Bake one tray at a time in the center rack until bottoms are lightly browned but the tops are still pale, 14-16 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 5 minutes.
- While the cookies are still warm, use a small, sharp paring knife to cut a circle about the size of a quarter on the bottom (flat) side of each cookie, taking care not to crack the edges or pierce the top. Use the tip of the knife to scrape out enough crumbs to hollow out and hold a teaspoon of pastry cream. Set cookies aside.
- Assembly:.
- Stir peach juice and 10 drops food coloring in a small, stain resistant bowl until color is uniform and bright red. Transfer sugar to a small bowl. Give the pastry cream a vigorous stir to break it up and smooth it out. Fill each cookie shell with a heaping teaspoon of pastry cream, smooth the surface of the cream and wipe any excess off the rim of the cookie. The cookie cavity should be full but not stuffed or the cookie might crack or break. Repeat with remaining cookies and cream.
- Gently sandwich two cookies together being careful not to crack or break but pressing them together until they stick (the cream is the glue). If the cookies won't stay together, add a little more cream and try again. Using a pastry brush, paint each "peach" with colored juice and roll in sugar to coat. Repeat with remaining cookies. Transfer to a baking sheet, loosely cover with plastic wrap and chill 8 hours, overnight works great. Just before serving, insert a small sprig of mint and a single whole clove where the two cookies come together.

PESCHE - ITALIAN PEACH WEDDING COOKIES
Years ago, my grandmother and great-aunt went to Italy for their cousin's daughter's wedding. They ALWAYS tell the story of this glorious table full of these delectable cookies shaped like little peaches. My great-aunt, being the baker of the family, asked her cousin for the recipe. She was told that these lovely little cookies were traditionally served at weddings there in their small Italian village. The recipe itself is quite simple, however, it is the method in which you assemble the cookies that makes these so unique. My great aunt adapted the original filling. In Italy, the peach cookies were filled with cream custard held together at the crease by dark chocolate. Because she needed to make her's in advance, she changes the filling to peach preserves. If you use the traditional cream for the filling, the cookies must be made and eaten THAT DAY. I've left the recipe in her original words. The number of cookies this makes is an ESTIMATE! Will update after I speak to my great-aunt.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°.
- Lightly grease cookie sheets.
- Mix together sugar, eggs and oil. Add flour and baking powder.
- Form 1" balls (cookies should be "flat" on the bottom where they rest on the cookie sheet) and bake about 10-15 minutes (until lightly browned on the bottom).
- While still warm, take a small pointed knife and scoop out a pocket on the flat side of each cookie.
- Fill with preserves & spread a small amount on the flat sides as you join 2 cookies together to form the peach.
- Color the brandy with a little food coloring & dip the peaches to give them a "blush".
- Then roll the peach in granulated sugar.
- You may garnish with artificial leaves for presentation.
- **Variation--if you have the time to make these lovely cookies on the actual day that they will be eaten, you may fill the pockets with pastry cream, and then seal the two halves together with melted dark chocolate!
