Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp coffee extract optional
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and coffee extract.
  2. In another bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet and mix until a dough forms. Chill for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll chilled dough to 1/4-inch thick and cut into rounds. Bake 10–12 minutes. Cool on rack.
  4. While still warm, lightly brush cookie tops with cooled espresso. Let cool completely.
  5. For the filling, beat mascarpone with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pipe onto half the cookies and top with the rest to form sandwiches.
  6. Dust the tops with cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

Try adding orange zest, chocolate chips, or a dark chocolate layer under the mascarpone for variations. Best served within 24 hours.
