Cookie Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and espresso powder, mixing until everything is nicely incorporated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Shaping Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Take the chilled dough out of the fridge and roll it into 1-inch balls.
- Coat each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Place the sugar-coated balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
- Use the back of a spoon to create a gentle indent in the center of each cookie.
Making Filling
- In a mixing bowl, whip together the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream until glossy and thick.
- Set the filling aside until it’s time to assemble the cookies.
Filling Cookies
- Once cookies have cooled, fill each indent with the creamy filling.
- Dust the top of each cookie with a light sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Chill (Optional)
