Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, espresso powder, baking powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened unsalted butter. Beat until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Use a large cookie scoop to portion out 5-6 balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, ensuring space between them. Flatten each ball lightly to create a thick disc shape.
- Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a separate bowl, beat mascarpone cheese and heavy cream until fluffy peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Spread the creamy mascarpone frosting over the tops of each cooled cookie. Dust with cocoa powder or add chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes
Ensure cookies are cool before frosting to prevent melting. For best flavor, use high-quality espresso powder.
