- Spray cookies lightly with the edible spray. You can either do one even spray or make a couple of small “blotches” on each cookie to resemble a real peach.
- Continue to roll out all of the dough into balls, and then bake for about 12-15 minutes or until very light brown on the bottom.
- Dip the tops and sides of the cookies in granulated sugar as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Allow to Cool
