Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by whisking together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Then, mix in 2 beaten eggs and 2 tablespoons of espresso powder until well combined.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm it up for easier handling.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) while you prepare the cookies.
- Once dough is chilled, use a cookie scoop or your hands to roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Generously roll each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Space the cookies about 2 inches apart on lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, keeping a close eye on them.
- Use the back of a spoon to create an indent in the center of each cookie as soon as you take them out.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
- Then, gently move the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, whip together 1 cup of mascarpone cheese and ½ cup of heavy cream until glossy and thick.
- Once the cookies are fully cooled, fill the indent in each cookie with a generous amount of the mascarpone mixture.
- If desired, dust with cocoa powder for an extra touch of flavor.
- Consider chilling the filled cookies for about 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and avoid over-whipping the filling.
