# Instructions:
01 -
Gather and measure all the ingredients for Italian peach cookies.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Beat eggs and sugar for about 10 minutes. Then whisk in melted butter and vanilla extract until creamy.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Gradually stir into the egg mixture. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a soft dough forms.

Scoop and roll the dough into small balls, ensuring they are evenly sized.

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking tray, spacing them evenly apart.

Bake for 12 minutes, ensuring the cookies remain soft but fully cooked.
08 -
While the cookies are warm, carefully scoop out the centers using a small knife.
09 -
Add peach jam to the hollowed-out centers. Press one filled cookie against another to form sandwiches.

Dip the assembled cookies in milk mixed with red food coloring. Drain on a wire rack, then roll in granulated sugar. For garnish, insert mint leaves to mimic peach leaves.

To achieve the right dough consistency, it should be slightly sticky. Add extra milk if necessary.

Scoop out the centers of the cookies while still warm for easier handling.

Use red and yellow milk mixtures to create more realistic peach-like appearances.
