Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup brewed espresso cooled
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly or using cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Scoop the dough into the prepared muffin tin, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides to create cup shapes.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Soak each cookie cup with the cooled espresso, allowing a bit to soak in without making them soggy.
  • Pipe or spoon the mascarpone filling into each cookie cup, smoothing the top as desired.
  • Lightly dust with cocoa powder before serving to add a touch of elegance.
