These adorable homemade cookies look just like peaches and they are so simple to make and decorate. They are filled with peach jam and brushed with peach schnapps to give them a delicious peachy flavor.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes on high).
Mix in eggs, one at a time until fully combined.
Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and peach schnapps until fully combined.
Mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
Roll tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough into balls using your hands. Place onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet, leaving about 1 inch between the cookies.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the the bottoms of the cookies have browned.
Cool cookies on a cooling rack.
Filling and Decorating Instructions
Sandwich sets of two cookies together with a small amount of peach jam in between.
Divide the peach schnapps into two small bowls.
Add red food coloring to one bowl and yellow food coloring to the other bowl. (Use more or less food coloring than recommended depending on your personal preference.)
Paint a thin layer of red on one half of a cookie. Top with a thin layer of yellow and then a few more splotches of red.
Dip in a bowl of sugar.
Repeat with the other side of the cookie and then repeat all steps for remaining cookies.

Notes
For the best look, serve in a basket. Stick a couple of mint leaves or other edible leaves, like lemon balm, into the cookies to add to the look!
