- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
- Cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the dissolved espresso mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the frosting: Beat together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe the mascarpone frosting onto the bottom of one cookie and top with another.
- Dust the tops of the cookies with unsweetened cocoa powder.
Notes
- For a stronger espresso flavor, you can add an extra teaspoon of espresso powder to the dough.
- Ensure cookies are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
