Melt 1 stick of unsalted butter and let it cool before adding to the mixer.

Add 1 large beaten egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted butter in the mixer.

Gradually beat in 3/4 cup of brown sugar while mixing.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Add 2 tablespoons of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients and mix lightly to avoid lumps.

Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in the mixer, mixing until just combined to avoid tough cookies.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.

Roll each ball in plain white sugar and then in powdered sugar, brushing off any excess.

Place the rolled cookies on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Before baking, gently flatten each cookie about a third of the way down.

Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until done.
