Mascarpone Cookies
Nothing beats Italian cream cheese, its rich and creaminess is simply lush. Making these mascarpone cookies perfect without frosting.
Ingredients
- 300 g All Purpose Flour
- 150 g Butter Unsalted
- 150 g Mascarpone
- 150 g Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius and Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Put the cheese, butter and sugar in a bowl. whisk together until creamy, add the egg and continue whisking until it is all combined.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and vanilla powder.
- Add the flour mixture (in three parts) to the creamy mixture and gently mix with a spatula, until you get a soft dough.
- Now, you can scoop the dough with an ice cream scoop unto a baking tray; you can also roll out the dough and cut out with a cookie cutter; but, for these cookies I put the soft dough mixture into a plastic bag and piped it unto the baking sheet.
- This is just another way to easily get a round shape if you don't have an ice-cream scoop or a cookie cutter. These should give you 15 large cookies.
- Place the tray of cookies into the pre-heated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
- Remove from oven, you can easily pull the parchment paper with the cookies unto a cooling rack or just a flat surface, so they cool.
- Serve with a cup of tea or ice and decorate as you desire.
