Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup passionfruit puree
1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the 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 well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to create a small indent.
Add Passionfruit Puree: Fill the indent with a small amount of passionfruit puree, being careful not to overfill.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
