Peachy Cookies
One bite of these pretty pastries and you'll think they came fresh off the tree instead of the cookie plate. I bake these filled cookies for holidays, weddings and celebrations that call for a peach of a cookie! —Andrea Cuteri, Coraopolis, Pennsylvania

I have searched for this recipe for years! First saw them at a wedding----great cookie and decor on the plate! I will try these for sure. They will go one my "special " list.
These cookies turned out beautifully and, yes, they are a lot of work. I used peach jello as part of the coating, but confess to using apricot preserves as the recipe calls for. I love apricots. I believe the instant tea added color and a bit of tang to the filling. I suspect you could leave it out. Everyone who tasted one thought they were very good, not just cute. I cater a dog show in Georgia and hope to have time to make these this year. They keep quite well. You just need to add the leaves at the last minute.
great idea
Cookies look great but it seems to be a lot of work making them. Think I`ll pass on this recipe until there is a special occasion for a fancy cookie.
They are so CUTE! The only problem is that they don't taste like peaches. I'd use peach jello instead of orange and peach preserves so that they taste the way they look. They're awesome, though!

Roll cookies in jello mixture.Pipe green leaf stems on each at end of cookie.Keep refrigerated.These are delicious...my son loved to help her make them when he was a little boy.
It took me a bit to realize I was looking at the cookies - these cookies are a "real" peach of an idea - for those of you who are stressed by the name - drain a cup of peaches and dice to add to preserves - Andrea - you're the peach!
Why do you call them peach cookies when they have apricots. To me this is very misleading.They should be calledPeached shaped apricots cookies.thank you,B orndoff
I don't get it. There are no peaches in this recipe.
Congratulations there has never been a peach cookie recipe, this shows truly artistic talent. For great grandma and grandma above, forget all the prep put pealed peaches in a blender and blend add to batter sprinkle some cinnamon on top and there you go-your style peach cookies.
