Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg, vanilla, and espresso. Mix until combined.
- Stir in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms.
- Gently fold in the mascarpone—don’t overmix. We want little pockets of creamy goodness.
- Scoop the dough into balls and place them a couple of inches apart on your baking sheet.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
