# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat the butter in your microwave or in a small pot over gentle heat, making sure it doesn't bubble so you don't lose any liquid. Once melted, pour into a big bowl and stick it in the fridge for about 20 minutes to cool down completely.
02 -
When the butter has cooled, throw in both white and brown sugars. Stir everything together with a spatula or beat with a mixer on medium for a minute.
03 -
Drop in the egg and vanilla. Mix until everything's blended together nicely.
04 -
In another bowl, stir together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, coffee powder, and salt. Slowly add this dry mix to your wet ingredients, stirring just until everything comes together.
05 -
Use a 2-tablespoon scoop to portion out 11 cookies. Roll each scoop into a nice round ball and put them on a tray lined with baking paper. Stick the tray in the fridge for an hour.
06 -
Get your oven warming up to 180ºC (355ºF) and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper.
07 -
Put six cookie balls on each tray and bake one tray at a time for about 10-11 minutes. Let them sit on the tray for 3 minutes after baking before moving them to a rack to finish cooling.
08 -
Beat together the mascarpone, vanilla, icing sugar, honey, and cream with a mixer until it forms stiff peaks. You can make this ahead and keep it in the fridge if needed.
09 -
Put your cream into a piping bag with a Wilton 2A tip. Squeeze it onto your cooled cookies in a swirl pattern. Sprinkle with cocoa powder right before you serve them.
