Ingredients
  • For the biscuits/cookies:
  • 500gms (1lb) butter, softened
  • 8 tbspns icing (powdered) sugar
  • 3 cups plain flour
  • 8 tbspns cornflour
  • For the icing/frosting:
  • 150gms (5.3ozs) cream cheese
  • 50gms (1.8ozs) butter
  • pulp from 3 passionfruit
  • 2 cups icing (powdered) sugar
  • lemon juice

  6. Using a fork dipped in cornflour, press tines of fork onto biscuit.
