Rangikawea was our chef of the week last week. He chose passionfruit butter cookies. As I love passionfruits how could I say no! Just imagine a soft sweet butter shortbread biscuit but with a soft passionfruit flavor, mmmmm. We loved it.
Here is the recipe..
250g Butter, softened (used margarine)
1 1/3 cups (220g) icing sugar
2 cups (300g) plain flour
1/2 cup (75g) corn flour
1/3 cup (65g) rice flour (did not include this, just added plain flour instead)
2 tablespoons passionfruit pulp
1. Combine butter, sugar and flours in large bowl of food processor, process 2 minutes or until mixture is combined, Add passionfruit; process until mixture clings together. (we didn't use a processor)
2. Transfer mixture to floured surface; kneed gently until smooth. Divide dough in half roll each half into 26cm log; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 160/140oC fan forced. Grease oven trays
4. Cut logs into 1 cm slices. place slices on trays 3 cm apart. Bake about 20 minutes. Stand biscuits on trays 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool.
makes 40
prep time 25 min plus refrigeration time ( can freeze them for a later day if like)
cook time 20 min per tray
tip. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week (good luck them lasting that long!)
I actually thought it would also taste really good with a drizzle of lemon icing on top. Tell me what you think!!
