- Salt
- Mascarpone cheese
- Powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or fingers.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are just set and lightly golden around the edges. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone, powdered sugar, heavy cream, espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Spread or pipe a generous amount of filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Lightly dust assembled cookies with unsweetened cocoa powder. Optionally, add shaved chocolate or a decorative coffee bean on top.
