Delicious peach meringue cookies!! Be careful, you may not be able to stop at one cookie!
You will first start off this recipe by placing a skinned and wedged peach into a food processor. You will make a peach puree that will resemble applesauce. (See below photo)
Using a fresh peach instead of an extract, like my blueberry and strawberry meringue recipes, makes for an irresistible flavor.
When it comes to making the cookies, you will need a star tip, pastry bag and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You will pipe the cookies onto your baking sheet so they look like these:
Depending on the size of the cookie you pipe onto your baking sheet will determine how many cookies you get out of this batch. We got about 48 cookies.

Hi! I love the simplicity of your recipe. I was wondering though, could I use the peaches (and juice?) from the Dole snack cups? And if so, how many of the cups could I use? For example, I think there 4-4 oz cups in a package. I’m trying to find simple cookie type recipes that would allow me to puree the peaches from those cups so that I can use them up… thanks so much!

I am unsure if using fruit cups would work or not. I don’t know how many fruit cups would equal a peach. I tried Googling but couldn’t find a great answer to your question. I am sorry.
