For Cookies
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 3/4 cup passion fruit pulp

- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

- Heat the passion fruit and sugar on a pot over medium heat
- In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and the water. If the mixture looks to stiff, add a bit more of water
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the passion fruit curd and mix using a wooden spoon.
- Meanwhile, place the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk a bit
- When the passion fruit mixture starts boiling and thickening, remove from the heat and gently pour 2-3 tablespoons over the yolks. Mix the yolks vigorously while you pour the hot liquid to prevent the yolks from cooking.
- Place the yolk mixture into the remaining passion fruit curd and mix
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to completely cool
- For Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Throw all the ingredients together in the bowl of a mixer and mix until combined
- Make 1 tablespoon size balls and place them separately on the lined cookie sheet
- With the back of a spoon or your thumb, make a deep indentation in the middle of the cookie being careful not to cut through the bottom
- Spoon cooled curd in the middle
- Bake for 10-12 minutes
- Remove from oven
- Let the cookies cool completely on a rack
- Enjoy!
