Ingredients
For the dough:
- 150 ml oil (preferably sunflower oil)
- 150 g sugar
- 150 ml warm water
- A pinch of salt
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 tablespoon ammonia dissolved in lemon juice
- Vanilla essence (to taste)
- 350 g flour
For the cream:
- 200 g butter (at room temperature)
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa (optional)
- 1 essence of rum
- 100 ml warm milk
For the syrup:
- 100 ml water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Red and yellow food coloring (or other desired colors)
- 1 tablespoon orange essence
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
1. In a large bowl, combine the oil, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Add the ammonia dissolved in lemon juice and the vanilla essence. Mix again.
3. Gradually incorporate the warm water, continuing to stir.
4. Start adding the flour little by little until you achieve a non-sticky dough. Remember to use good quality flour for the best results!
5. Form dough balls the size of walnuts and place them on a greased baking tray, leaving space between them.
Step 2: Baking
1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
2. Bake the dough balls for 15 minutes or until they turn slightly golden.
3. Once baked, remove them from the tray and, while still warm, gently scoop out the insides with a knife and a spoon. Set the insides aside for the cream.
Step 3: Prepare the Cream
1. In a bowl, cream the butter with the powdered sugar until it becomes a fluffy and smooth mixture. This step is essential for achieving a fine cream!
2. Add cocoa, the dough crumbs soaked in milk, and the rum essence. Mix well until homogeneous.
3. Chill the cream in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm it up a bit, making it easier to fill the peaches.
Step 4: Prepare the Syrup
1. In a bowl, combine the water, sugar, and orange essence. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Divide the syrup into two bowls. In one, add the red food coloring and in the other, the yellow. Stir to achieve uniform colors.
Step 5: Assembly
1. Fill each peach with the prepared cream using a teaspoon or piping bag.
2. Dip half of the peaches in the red syrup and the other half in the yellow syrup to create a colorful and attractive effect.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the delicious peaches on an elegant platter, dusted with a little powdered sugar for a more festive look. These cookies can be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a glass of fresh lemonade to complete the tasting experience.
