Passionfruit Shortbread Cookies image

For ZWT Australia/New Zealand Found while surfing Times are approximate "Shortbread cookies originate from Scotland where they are served with tea especially at Christmas and New Year. The buttery cookies made their way to Australia during the Scottish migration in the 1800s and still remain one of the most popular treats today. There are different types of shortbread, some containing more butter than others. This particular recipe is for a basic shortbread base which means a little less butter. The shortbread is topped with an incredibly easy to make and delicious passionfruit icing." I am not sure how many cookies this makes but I said 12 servings ( so could make 2-3 dozen)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup of packed brown sugar

I'm not a huge fan of passionfruit, but I still enjoyed these cookies. The shortbread was very good and the passionfruit flavor was subtle.

These cookies were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would use less passionfruit next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dense. They didn't have the same light and crumbly texture as the ones in the picture.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would add a little more butter next time.
