Passionfruit Cheese Cookies



Ingredients
250g cream cheese, room temperature
125g cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar 
2 eggs 
Pulp of 6 to 8 Passion Fruit 
1 &1/2 cups plain flour 
2 tsp baking powder 
granulated sugar and icing sugar to coat the cookies

Method
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the butter and cream cheese.
Then add the sugar and mix again.
Add the eggs and the passion fruit and mix gently. Add the flour and mix thoroughly until smooth.

Using a teaspoon, scoop small balls of the sticky dough and place on a tray. Put in the freezer for 30 to 40 minutes.  

Pre-heat the oven to 180C

Remove the cookie dough balls from the freezer. With your hands roll each individually into a firm ball, dip in the granulated sugar to coat and then into the icing suger to coat again. Place onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and press down to flatten slightly. Make sure there is plenty of space between each cookie for them to expand X2. You may need to do this in batches.

Bake for 14 or 15 minutes.

This recipe makes approximately 30 cookies.
