Melting Moments with Passionfruit Frosting

Make the Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 177°C (350°F). Line baking trays with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and powdered sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the butter for 1–2 minutes until pale and creamy.
4. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
5. Add the dry ingredients in two batches, mixing on low speed. When the dough looks crumbly, increase speed briefly (about 15 seconds) until it comes together.
6. Scoop 2 teaspoon portions (17 g) and roll into balls.
7. Place on the tray, flatten gently with your palm, then press lightly with a fork for that classic look.
8. Bake for 16–18 minutes, until the tops are set but not browned.
9. Let cookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
