I invented something delicious y'all!
So...these AMAZING little cookies are the love child of kiwis and a store bought sugar cookie mix. Since Im not one for exact measurements, I'll do my best to let you know how to make them below:
Bake sugar cookies a la store bought mix.
The size of the cookies should be about 2 inches in diameter.
Let those cool.
For the frosting...
Peel and smash one ripe kiwi in a medium sized bowl. (a softer kiwi makes it easier to smash)
Add 3-4 Tbsp room temperature butter.
Then add 1tsp Vanilla
Add powdered sugar to desired consistency. (think a little thicker than jar o' store bought frosting consistency)
Then add salt little by little until it tastes juuuust right.
Put the frosting in a ziplock bag and cut off the corner. ie: poor man's piping bag.
Frost cookies one at a time - placing a thin kiwi slice on top immediately.
Tip: The firmer kiwis work best for the slices on top. And after you slice the kiwi, set it on a paper towel to soak up any excess juice. We don't want soggy cookies!
(Note: in the photos above, you'll see that I cut my cookies in half. If you choose to go that route, cut the sugar cookie in half FIRST, then frost and top with half of a kiwi slice)
Refrigerate until ready to serve. And be aware that they taste best fresh and don't really save well. So eat or give them away soon after you make them.
If you happen to try making these, please come back and tell me what you think!
