Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt 110 grams of butter in a small saucepan over low heat until fully liquid. Remove from heat and cool for about 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Whisk together cooled melted butter, 100 grams of granulated sugar, and 100 grams of dark brown sugar for about 1 minute until light and creamy.
- Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture, and blend until just combined.
- Whisk together 230 grams of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of instant espresso powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out 11 dough balls and chill for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC (355ºF) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake the dough balls for 10-11 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the tray for about 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together 180 grams of mascarpone cheese, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 90 grams of confectioners’ sugar, and 20 grams of agave or honey. Whip in 120 grams of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Pipe the whipped mascarpone cream onto each cookie and dust with cocoa powder.

Notes
Whip mascarpone to stiff peaks to keep cream from slipping off cookies. Chill dough for best texture and use an electric mixer for efficiency.
