Ingredients
For the dough:-
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (260 grams)
- 1 1/4 stick butter (140 grams)
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar (50 grams)
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
- Pinch of salt
- 4 or more tablespoon of ice water
For the filling:-
- 3 large peaches
- 3 tablespoons of pure cane sugar
- A little lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
For the top of cookies:-
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 tablespoons pure cane sugar for sprinkling on top
- Beat the egg lightly and add water.
Instructions
for the dough:-
-
1. Mix all ingredients in a food processor and pulse several times until the mixture looks crumbly.
-
2. Now add ice water a tablespoon at a time until dough ball forms.
-
3. Flatten the dough, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least for one hour.
for the filling:-
-
1. Peel and cube the peaches. Combine remaining ingredients and in a frying pan on low flame reduce the juices of the peaches. This should take 4 to 5 minutes. Now set aside until cool.
for the top of the cookies:-
-
1. Once the dough has chilled roll out to about 1/8 inch. With a 3 inch round cookie cutter cut out an even number of circles.
-
2. In the center of half of the circles add about 1 tsp of the peaches. Now cover with the other circle. Press down on the rim of both circles. This can be fine with a fork. Cut a small cross on top of the cookie so that it can release steam as it cooks or you can puncture with the tip of a fork.
-
3. With a pastry brush brush the egg wash and sprinkle some sugar on each cookie.
-
4. On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper line the cookies and bake in a preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius) oven for 25 minutes.
-
5. Time to put the kettle on!
