["Heat oven to 350u00b0F with rack in middle. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.", "Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, instant espresso powder and vanilla bean paste until well integrated. Also set aside.", "Using a stand or electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl one or two times. Reduce the speed to medium, and add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of the buttermilk-espresso-vanilla mixture, and mix at low speed, just until smooth. Scrap down the sides of the bowl several times to prevent over-mixing.", "Drop level tablespoons of dough (a cookie scoop works well) about 1 1/2 inches apart onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until cookies are puffed in the middle and edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes per batch. Cool cookies on sheet for one minute then transfer to cooling racks.", "FOR ICING:
2
Whisk together all ingredients -- you may need to add a little more buttermilk or powdered sugar to reach a spreadable consistency. Spread in a thin layer on tops of slightly warm or cooled cookies.
3
Let stand until cookies are completely cool and glaze is set."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
