Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 batch of your favorite cookie dough (approx. 2 cups)
Mascarpone Cream Filling
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
Topping
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Cookie Cups: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Press portions of cookie dough into a greased muffin tin, shaping each to form a cup with a hollow center. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Make Mascarpone Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cooled coffee. Mix gently until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped heavy cream carefully to maintain a light texture.
- Fill Cookie Cups: Once the cookie cups are fully cooled, spoon or pipe the mascarpone cream mixture into each cookie cup, filling generously.
- Dust with Cocoa: Using a fine sieve, sprinkle unsweetened cocoa powder over the filled cookie cups to finish. Chill briefly if desired before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought cookie dough to save time.
- For a non-caffeinated version, substitute coffee with decaffeinated coffee or coffee extract.
- Ensure cookie cups are completely cool before filling to prevent melting of the mascarpone cream.
- These cups can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
