Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

Prepare the Glaze: In a bowl, combine the passionfruit pulp with powdered sugar until you achieve a smooth glaze consistency.
