Ingredients
Scale
Cookie
180 g Unsalted butter (3/4 cup)
60 g Powdered sugar (1/2 cup)
60 g Custard powder (1/2 cup)
180 g All-purpose flour (1 1/2 cup)
Buttercream
120 g Unsalted butter (1/2 cup)
13g Powdered sugar (2 tbsp)
60ml Passionfruit pulp, drained (1/4 cup)
Instructions
Cookie
In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the unsalted butter, icing sugar, and custard powder together until light and fluffy
Add the flour and mix until the dough comes together
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out until 5mm thick
Place the rolled dough on a baking tray and chill for at least 30 mins
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170°C and line a large baking tray with parchment paper
Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the freezer, using a medium-sized round cookie cutter cut out rounds of dough (the dough can be rerolled, chilled, and used again)
If the dough sticks to the cookie cutter dip the cutter in flour before cutting out the shape
Place all the cut-out cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for 12-15 minutes
The cookies should be tinged golden and firm to the touch
Cool completely on a wire rack
Buttercream
Put the butter in a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy
Add the passionfruit pulp and beat on high until fully incorporated
Add the sugar and continue to beat until the buttercream is smooth and silky
Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip
Assembly
Pipe a dollop of buttercream on the underside of a cookie
