Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Mascarpone Filling:
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, cooled
- unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and prepare filling: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. In a medium bowl, beat together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the brewed coffee and mix until combined.
- Assemble cookies: Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread or pipe the mascarpone mixture onto half of the cookies, then top with the remaining cookies to form sandwiches. Lightly dust the tops with cocoa powder before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute instant espresso powder with finely ground instant coffee.
