Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Whimsical Peach Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, beat together the large eggs and sugar at medium speed for about 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Lower the speed and blend in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients while stirring gently.
  5. Dampen your hands slightly, roll the dough into 1-inch balls, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden edges form, while keeping the centers soft.
  7. Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes before hollowing out the flat sides to create space for filling.
  8. Mix Dulce de Leche, chopped pecans, and a few cookie crumbs in a bowl until thick.
  9. Fill one half of the hollowed cookies with the prepared filling and place another half on top to form a sandwich.
  10. Dip the cookies in carrot juice, brush with beet juice, and roll in granulated sugar.
  11. Garnish each cookie with a mint or lemon balm leaf and let them dry for 30 minutes.
