Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Kitchen scales

Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • 185 g unsalted butter softened
  • 90 g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 235 g flour
  • 50 g custard powder

Passionfruit filling

  • 90 g icing sugar
  • 30 g unsalted butter softened
  • 10 g custard powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • passionfruit syrup with pulp

Instructions
 

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a flat sheet tray with baking paper, set aside.
  • Beat the butter, icing sugar, and vanilla in a stand mixer with a paddle, until pale and creamy.
    Combine flour and custard powder and add into the butter mixture. Mix until the sides of the bowl are clean and a soft dough forms.
  • Weigh 25g cookies and roll them into a ball then place onto the sheet tray with approximately 3 inch distance in between each cookie.
    Grab a fork and flatten each cookie lightly. It's okay if there are cracks when you flatten them. Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes. Check after 15 minutes, you don't want them to colour as much. Let the cookies cool completely and prepare the filling.

Filling

  • Beat all ingredients but the passionfruit syrup in a stand mixer with a paddle until it is light and creamy. Add the passionfruit syrup as much or as little as you want, I added around about 4 tablespoons of the syrup.

Assembly

  • Divide the cookies in half. Fill half of the cookies with about a teaspoon of filling in the middle and press lightly with the other half until you see the filling spread itself. Serve with a cup of tea or coffee.
    For me it's always going to be coffee but you do you :)
