Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 110 g butter
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg (57-60 g with shell)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 230 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Mascarpone Cream

  • 180 g mascarpone cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 90 g confectioners sugar
  • 20 g agave or honey
  • 120 g heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butter: Melt the butter gently in the microwave or on the stove over low-medium heat, ensuring it doesn’t bubble to retain moisture. Pour the melted butter into a large mixing bowl and chill it in the fridge until it reaches room temperature, approximately 20 minutes.
  2. Mix Sugars and Butter: Once cooled, add the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar to the butter. Whisk together with a spatula for about 1 minute or use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until well combined.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until the components are fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, instant espresso powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding them in carefully with a spatula until just combined without overmixing.
  5. Shape Cookies: Using a 2 tbsp (1.3-ounce) cookie scoop, portion out 11 scoops of dough onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, spacing them evenly. Roll each portion between your hands into a smooth ball. Refrigerate the cookie balls for 1 hour to firm up before baking.
  6. Preheat Oven and Bake: Preheat your oven to 180ºC (355ºF). Place 6 cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper, baking one tray at a time. Bake each batch for 10-11 minutes until soft and slightly golden around the edges.
  7. Cool Cookies: After baking, allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 3 minutes to set. Then transfer them gently with a spatula to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Mascarpone Cream: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment to whip mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, confectioners sugar, agave (or honey), and heavy cream together. Beat until the mixture holds stiff peaks and is stable.
  9. Assemble Cookies: Transfer the mascarpone cream into a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip (such as Wilton 2A). Pipe the cream onto cooled cookies in a swirl pattern starting from the center outward.
  10. Finish with Cocoa Dusting: Using a fine mesh sieve, dust the assembled cookies with cocoa powder for a beautiful tiramisu-inspired finish before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is cooled to room temperature before mixing to avoid scrambling the egg.
  • Refrigerating cookie dough balls firm them up, preventing excessive spreading during baking.
  • Use quality instant espresso powder for authentic coffee flavor.
  • Mascarpone cream can be made a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator covered to maintain freshness.
  • Pipe mascarpone cream just before serving to keep cookie texture balanced.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying confectioners sugar or agave according to preference.
