  • 1 large egg Approximately 57-60 g with shell
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder For slight leavening
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda For leavening
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder For a strong coffee flavor
  • ½ teaspoon salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor
For the Mascarpone Cream:
  • 198 g mascarpone cheese Room temperature for smooth texture
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor
  • 99 g powdered sugar For sweetness and texture
  • 22 g agave syrup or honey, for sweetness
  • 132 g heavy cream Whipping cream for richness
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder For dusting, adds a finishing touch

Equipment

  • 1 Cookie scoop For portioning the dough into evenly sized cookies
  • 1 Electric mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment For whipping the mascarpone cream to stiff peaks
  • 1 Piping bag with Wilton 2A piping tip For piping the mascarpone cream with a pretty swirl
  • 1 Parchment paper To prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup
  • 1 Fine mesh sieve For dusting the cocoa powder onto the cookies

Method
 

  1. Begin by melting the butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
  2. Once the butter has cooled, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Whisk it together for about 1 minute until fully mixed.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

  5. Using a 2 tablespoon (1.3 oz) cookie scoop, scoop the dough into 13 portions and place them on a lined baking sheet. Roll the dough into balls using your hands. Then, refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to firm it up.
  6. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (355ºF) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake the cookies one tray at a time for 10-11 minutes.

  7. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the tray for about 3 minutes as they will still be soft. Then, use a spatula to transfer them to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.
  8. For the mascarpone cream, use an electric mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment to beat together mascarpone, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, agave, and heavy cream until stiff peaks form. If preparing ahead, store it in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap.
  9. When ready to serve, transfer the mascarpone cream to a piping bag fitted with a tip (e.g., Wilton 2A). Pipe the cream on top of each cookie in a swirl pattern, starting from the center.
