05 - Warm the oven up to 355°F (180°C). Bake six cookies per batch for 10-11 minutes.
06 - Let the cookies sit on the tray for 3 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
07 - Beat together the mascarpone, powdered and regular sugars, cream, and vanilla until fluffy peaks hold their shape.
08 - Swirl the cream on top of the cooled cookies using a piping bag. Sprinkle matcha on top.
