  • 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

  1. Preheat your oven too 350 f or 175 c and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until combined and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together melted butter and sugars until smooth.
  4. Add vanilla, whole egg, egg yolk, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is fully combined, scraping the sides of the bowl.
  5. Add the dry ingredients and gently fold in until just a few streaks of flour remain.
  6. Scoop the dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake at 10 min until cookies are set but still soft in the middle.
  8. Right after baking, gently press the edges of each cookie with a round cutter or glass to shape them perfectly round.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the pan for a bit, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Mascarpone Cream:
  11. In a bowl, mix mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  12. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  13. Use immediately or store in the fridge until ready.
  14. Assemble:
  15. Once cookies are fully cooled, pipe each cookie with mascarpone cream.
  16. Dust with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings if you want a fancy touch.
  17. Enjoy immediately or chill for a slightly firmer cream.
