Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter
70g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 tbsp corn flour
16g
1 yolk
16g
1/3 cup sugar
63g
2 passion fruits
80g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Add Egg Yolk and Passionfruit:
- Add the egg yolk to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until fully combined.
- Scoop out the pulp from the two passion fruits and add it to the mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and corn flour until they are well mixed.
5. Form the Dough:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
6. Shape the Cookies:
- Using your hands, form the dough into small egg-shaped balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to turn a light golden brown.
8. Cool:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
- Once cooled, your passionfruit shortbread eggs are ready to be enjoyed!

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing for a smoother texture.

- If you don't have corn flour, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour.

- Use fresh passion fruits for the best flavor. If fresh passion fruits are not available, you can use passionfruit puree as an alternative.

- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before shaping to prevent it from spreading too much while baking.

- Use a pastry brush to gently brush off any excess flour from the shortbread shapes before baking for a cleaner look.
