Ingredients
  

For the cookies:

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp espresso coffee

For the frosting:

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

For decoration:

  • Cocoa powder

Instructions
 

1- Preparing the cookies:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with the white sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
  • Add the egg and espresso coffee, and mix well.
  • In the same bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually incorporate these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until well combined.

2- Chilling the cookies:

  • Use a scoop #20 or spoon to portion the dough and place the portions on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Chill the dough portions in the refrigerator for one hour or in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  • Bake the cookies for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

3- Preparing the frosting:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until well combined. Beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

4- Decoration:

  • Once the cookies are completely cool, apply a layer of frosting on each cookie using a spoon or piping bag.
  • Dust cocoa powder over the frosting to decorate.

Notes

  • Coffee Flavor: Add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee powder to intensify the coffee flavor.
  • Mixing Ingredients: Make sure the egg is at room temperature for better integration.
  • Stable Frosting: If the frosting is too runny, add more mascarpone or reduce the amount of cream.
  • Extra Flavor: Add 1 teaspoon of coffee liqueur to the frosting for an extra touch of flavor. Sprinkle cocoa powder over the frosting and, if desired, grate some dark chocolate on top.
  • Professional Decoration: Use a piping bag with a decorative tip for a more professional finish.
  • Storage: Store the cookies with frosting in the refrigerator if they won't be consumed immediately.
