Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well until fully incorporated.
Peel and mash the kiwis in a small bowl until smooth. Add the mashed kiwi to the wet mixture and combine well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving about 2 cm (1 inch) of space between each biscuit.
Flatten the tops of the biscuit dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn light golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your kiwi biscuits with tea or coffee, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
