You should have about 40 balls.

Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Space them 3-4 cm apart, allowing room for expansion when they bake. 

Bake in a preheated 180° C / 350° F oven for 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool.

Meanwhile, soften the mascarpone and transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip.

Take one biscuit and pipe a little mascarpone on the flat side.

Top with another biscuit, flat side down on the mascarpone, to form a kiss.

Continue with the remaining ingredients.

Serve immediately or store in the fridge in a covered container.
