Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Then, cream the unsalted butter in a separate bowl until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the large eggs and espresso powder, mixing until fully incorporated. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the dough is chilled, scoop out small portions and roll them into 1-inch balls. Coat each ball in powdered sugar.
- Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.
- While cookies are cooling, whip together mascarpone cheese and heavy cream until thick and glossy.
- Fill the cooled cookies with the creamy mascarpone filling. Dust the tops with cocoa powder or additional powdered sugar before serving.
- Chill the filled cookies in the refrigerator for about 15–20 minutes before serving to enhance the flavor and firmness.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing. Roll the dough balls generously in powdered sugar for better crinkles during baking.
