Espresso Mascarpone Frosting & Topping

• 8 oz mascarpone cheese, cold
  
  

• 1½ cups (180 g) powdered sugar

• 1 cup (237 ml) cold heavy whipping cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
   
   

2. Melt butter, whisk in espresso powder, then chill mixture (~10 min) until cool.
   
   

3. In a bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   
   

4. In another bowl, mix cooled espresso-butter with sugar until combined, then whisk in egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients until just combined.
   
   

5. Scoop dough (2‑Tbsp each) about 3 in (8 cm) apart onto lined sheets. Bake 10–12 min until edges set and centers puffed. Cool on sheet 5 min before transferring to rack to room temperature.
   
   

6. For frosting: Beat mascarpone until smooth, add espresso powder, vanilla and powdered sugar. Slowly incorporate whipping cream; then increase mixer speed to medium until frosting is light and fluffy (~2–3 min).
   
   

7. Once cookies are completely cooled, top each with 1–2 Tbsp of frosting. Smooth in a swirl with a spatula or spoon. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.
