Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened slightly

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1 egg, at room temperature

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon instant espresso powder

8-ounces of mascarpone cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup of powdered sugar

1-2 tablespoons of Kahlua (coffee liquor)

Cocoa powder, for dusting

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with a silicone liner. (In my experience, silicone liners prevent cookies from spreading too much in the oven).

Make the cookies: In a medium-size bowl, add the butter and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer. Beat for about 10 seconds to break it up.

Then, add the sugar to the butter, and beat until fluffy, about 45 seconds.

Next, add the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla. Beat to combine.

Evenly sprinkle the flour, baking powder and salt over the batter, and beat until just combined.

Lastly, sprinkle the espresso powder into the dough and fold it to combine. I like little streaks of this, and I like to see the granules, so I don’t try to over-blend it.

Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to get 12 balls of dough. Roll it in your hand to make a perfect ball (so the cookie bake up pretty). Space them 1.5 inches apart on a baking sheet, and press them down slightly flat with your fingers. Bake for 13-15 minutes. They're done when dry to the touch. They will be puffy with small domes.

Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute, and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

While the cookies cool, make the frosting: beat together the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and Kahlua.

To pipe the frosting, move it to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.

Pipe a concentric circle on each cookie. Dust the cookies with cocoa powder before serving.
