Ingredients:

• 80 g melted butter
• 1 tablespoon instant coffee
• 75 g caster sugar
• 75 g of light, soft brown sugar
• 1 medium egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200 g all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• A pinch of salt

For the cream:

• 120 g mascarpone
• 80 ml double cream
• 50 g icing sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the coffee-infused butter:
   In a small bowl, dissolve instant coffee in melted butter, stirring until well combined.
2. Mix the wet ingredients:
   In a large bowl, combine the coffee-infused butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
3. Add the dry ingredients:
   Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
4. Shape and cool the dough:
   Form cookie dough into balls and place on a baking sheet. Transfer the sheet to the freezer and chill the dough for 10 to 15 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape while they bake.
5. Bake the cookies:
   Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) fan-assisted. Once the dough has cooled, transfer the cookie dough balls to a larger baking tray, leaving plenty of space between each one. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly browned. Leave the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
6. Prepare the mascarpone cream:
   In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, double cream, icing sugar and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
7. Assemble the cookies:
   Once the cookies are completely cooled, pipe or spread the mascarpone cream on top of each cookie. Dust the top with cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu finish.
8. Serve and enjoy:
   Serve the cookies immediately or store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to enjoy them. They are best enjoyed slightly chilled.
