Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • 115 g salted butter softened
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 110 g light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 170 g plain flour
  • 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp freshly brewed coffee
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 150 g dark chocolate chips or dark chocolate cut into small chunks

For the cream:

  • 180 g mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 90 g icing sugar
  • 120 g double/heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

For the cookies:

  • In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sea salt, baking powder. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together butter, and sugars until combined.
  • Beat in egg and vanilla until fluffy and then add the coffee and mix again.
  • Tip in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Finally add the chocolate chips and stir by hand.
  • Scoop the dough onto two lined baking sheets (about 2 tbsp in size). You want with at least 1 ½” between the cookies. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins.
  • Preheat oven to 190c (375 degrees F)
  • Bake in preheated oven for approximately 8-9 minutes. Take them out when they are just barely set as they will continue cooking. They should be set around the edges.
  • Let them sit on the baking pan for 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack to cool completely.

For the icing:

  • In a medium bowl with an electric mixer or in a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, whisk together all of the ingredients until it reaches stiff peaks and it holds its shape.
  • Add the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a piping tip - or you can use a ziplock bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the mascarpone cream on top of the cookies in a swirl, starting from the middle and moving outwards. Add a tablespoon of cocoa to fine mesh sieve and finish the cookies with dusting of cocoa powder for that tiramisu effect!
