Fruit Salad with Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F

Bake the butter and all-purpose flour well

Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix

Combine the nuts, wheat flour, and salt, and mix well until a homogeneous mass is obtained

Remove 1 tablespoon of the dough and use another spoon to push it onto an ungreased baking sheet

Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown

Let cool for 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the baking sheet with a spatula (you can prepare them a day in advance)

Prepare the fruit salad: peel the melon, bananas, papaya, and oranges

Mash 1/3 of the melon (reserve) using a blender or food processor

Cut the fruits into small cubes

Remove the skin from the kiwis and cut into slices

Cut the grapes in half and remove the seeds

All the fruit should be placed in a large bowl, sprinkled with confectioner's sugar, and mixed gently (you can prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate for about 2 hours)

Serve with cookies

Makes approximately 20 servings.
