- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup raspberry puree

Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Cream together butter and sugar, beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and salt, add to wet ingredients. Mix in raspberry puree, grapefruit juice, and passionfruit puree. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll and cut: Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out cookies and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
- Assemble: Spread raspberry jam on the bottom half of each cookie, top with the remaining half. Roll edges in granulated sugar and garnish with grapefruit zest.
