- Fold in the mascarpone cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set but the centers are still slightly underbaked.

- Once cool, dust the tops with cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
