Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Gradually fold in the self-raising flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Scoop out small portions of dough (about a teaspoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain pale.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and passion fruit pulp. Mix until you obtain a smooth and spreadable filling. If the filling is too thick, you can add a little more passion fruit pulp, and if it's too runny, add a bit more powdered sugar.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a small amount of the passionfruit filling on the flat side of one cookie. Sandwich it together with another cookie, flat side facing the filling.
- Repeat this process until all the cookies are paired with filling.
- Arrange the passionfruit kisses on a serving plate. Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Tips:
- Always use fresh passionfruit pulp for the best flavor. If fresh passionfruit is not available, high-quality passionfruit puree can be used as a substitute.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you start. This helps achieve a smoother and well-incorporated dough.
- For a more intense passionfruit flavor, you can add a little passionfruit zest to the dough.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies keep their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Sift the powdered sugar before adding it to ensure there are no lumps, giving you a smoother finish.
- Watch the cookies closely while baking. They should be lightly golden around the edges, which ensures they remain soft and delicate.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before handling them to ensure they maintain their structure.
With their delightful tang and melt-in-your-mouth texture, Passionfruit kisses make an excellent addition to any cookie platter. Enjoy them fresh with a hot beverage or share them with friends and family for a treat that's sure to bring smiles.
