Equipment

  • Hand or Stand Mixer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring Cups + Spoons
  • Piping Bag + Large Round Tip

Ingredients
  

For the cookies

  • ½ cup Butter softened + unsalted
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Instant Espresso Powder
  • 1 ¼ cup Flour

for the frosting

  • 1 cup Mascarpone Cheese softened
  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ¾ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder

Instructions
 

For the cookies

  • Combine melted butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium high for a few minutes until creamed together.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla and mix again.
  • Add in the remaining dry ingredients:  flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and espresso powder.  Mix thoroughly, scraping down the sides often and mixing again. 
  • Measure out a heaping tablespoon or about 1 inch size dough balls - about the size of a ping pong ball - and roll into a ball.  Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Chill for about 30 minutes to prevent spread.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line your baking sheets with parchment.
  • Once the cookies have chilled, place them about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets.  Bake for about 10-12 or until the edges are slightly browned and the center is set.

For the frosting

  • Combine heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla on low until combined.
  • Bump up the speed to medium/high for an additional 1-2 minutes or until stiff peaks form and the frosting holds its shape.  Do not over mix or it will deflate.
  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.  Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, pipe a spiral of frosting to cover the tops of each of the cookies
  • Sprinkle with a dusting of cocoa powder. 

Notes

Tips
  • Make sure cookies have cooled before adding frosting.
  • You can just spread frosting with a knife if you don't have a piping bag.
  • Cookies are done cooking with edges are set and lightly brown. Center will continue to harden as they cool.
  • Don't over mix the frosting or it will deflate. Just do it long enough to see peaks form.
Storage
They can be stored in an airtight container for 3 - 5 days in the fridge. They can be froz
