Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate-covered coffee beans, roughly chopped

1 cup vanilla frozen yogurt

1 tablespoon espresso powder (optional)

For optional chocolate drizzle: 1/4 cup dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Mix in the Wet Ingredients:

Add the large egg and pure vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. If you’re using espresso powder, dissolve it in a tablespoon of hot water before adding it to the bowl. Mix until everything is well incorporated and smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined—be careful not to overmix.

Fold in the Coffee Beans:

Carefully fold the roughly chopped chocolate-covered coffee beans into the cookie dough until they are evenly distributed.

Shape and Chill:

Place the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and shape it into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the log tightly in the plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the dough is firm enough to slice.

Prepare the Frozen Yogurt Layer:

While the dough is chilling, take the vanilla frozen yogurt out of the freezer and allow it to soften for about 10 minutes. Once softened, spread the frozen yogurt into an even layer on a parchment-lined dish or tray. Make sure the dish is large enough to accommodate the cookie log. Put it back in the freezer to firm up slightly.

Slice and Assemble:

When the cookie dough is firm, remove it from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cookie slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they're spaced apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden.

Cool the Cookies:

Once baked, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Create Cookie Layers:

Once the cookies are fully cooled and the frozen yogurt has set, begin assembling. Layer a slice of cookie, followed by a layer of frozen yogurt, and then another cookie slice on top to create a delightful sandwich. If desired, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over each assembled cookie stack for a finishing touch.

Final Freeze:

Arrange the assembled cookie slices back in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
