Brownie Cookie:
- 1.3 dl (80 g / ⅔ cup) all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp Dutch process cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 57 g (¼ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1.2 dl (100 g / ½ cup) granulated sugar
- 1 shot espresso
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- ¼ tsp salt
Mascarpone Cream
- 1 dl (90 g) mascarpone cheese
- 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla extract
- 1/2 dl (35 g / ¼ cup + 1 tbsp) powdered sugar (optional, skip if you like it less sweet)
- 1/2 dl (60 g / ¼ cup) heavy cream
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)
Directions
- Preheat your oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until combined and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together melted butter and sugars until smooth.
- Add vanilla, whole egg, egg yolk, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is fully combined, scraping the sides of the bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients and gently fold in until just a few streaks of flour remain.
- Scoop the dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake one sheet at a time until cookies are set but still soft in the middle.
- Right after baking, gently press the edges of each cookie with a round cutter or glass to shape them perfectly round.
- Let the cookies cool on the pan for a bit, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Mascarpone Cream:
- In a bowl, mix mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Use immediately or store in the fridge until ready.
- Assemble:
- Once cookies are fully cooled, pipe each cookie with mascarpone cream.
- Dust with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings if you want a fancy touch.
- Enjoy immediately or chill for a slightly firmer cream.
