Instructions For: Peach Thumbprint Cookies

Preheat oven to 325.

Mix the butter, milk, sugar, eggs, baking powder, and 2 cups of the flour with an electric mixer. Blend for 1 minute on low, constantly scraping the bowl. Beat 1 minute on medium speed, while continuing to scrape the bowl.

Stir in the remaining flour and vanilla.

Shape dough into smooth 3/4 inch balls (each ball will make half a peach). Place balls 1 inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheet.

Bake until peach thumbprint cookies are brown on the bottom, about 15-20 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Place the tip of a small knife in the center of each cookie and carefully rotate to make a hollow. Reserve crumbs that fall off.

Mix 1-1/2 cups of the crumbs with jam, chocolate, nuts and rum. Fill the hollowed cookies with the crumb mixture.

Set 2 filled cookies, flat sides together, to resemble a peach. Press together gently.

Brush each "peach" lightly with water. Immediately roll one side of "peach" in red sugar for blush.

Sprinkle yellow/orange sugar on the "peach" to cover completely.

Add your whole candied leaves as your "peach stem". Your peach thumbprint cookies will be a masterpiece.
