# Ingredients:

→ Cookies

01 - 110 g butter
02 - 100 g granulated sugar
03 - 100 g dark brown sugar
04 - 1 egg (57-60 g with shell)
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 230 g all-purpose flour
07 - ½ teaspoon baking powder
08 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
09 - 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
10 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Mascarpone Cream

11 - 180 g mascarpone cheese
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
13 - 90 g confectioners sugar
14 - 20 g agave or honey
15 - 120 g heavy cream
16 - 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for dusting

# Steps:

01 - Melt the butter in the microwave or a small saucepan over low-medium heat, avoiding bubbling to prevent liquid loss. Pour into a large mixing bowl and cool to room temperature in the fridge, about 20 minutes.
02 - Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the cooled butter. Mix with a spatula or a stand mixer on medium speed for 1 minute.
03 - Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, espresso powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
05 - Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, form 11 cookie portions. Roll each into a smooth ball and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
06 - Preheat the oven to 180ºC (355ºF) and prepare a baking sheet with baking paper.
07 - Place six cookies per baking tray and bake one tray at a time for 10-11 minutes. Let cool on the tray for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
08 - Whip mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, confectioners sugar, agave, and heavy cream using an electric mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate if preparing ahead.
09 - Transfer mascarpone cream to a piping bag with a Wilton 2A tip. Pipe cream in a swirl pattern onto cooled cookies. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
