Inspired by an old Australian Women's Weekly magazine recipe (the sort of recipe that my mother might have cut out), the classic melting moments are soft and delicate cookies sandwiching a simple buttercream flavored with some lemon juice and zest. But it's common to find other typically Australian fruits filling these Australian cookies, such as passion fruit pulp, seeds and all, or mango, which is a favorite at Christmas time (as it's summer and mangoes are in season). Orange zest and juice are very nice substitutes, too.
