Grease and flour 24 (3-inch)madeline molds. Beat sugar and yolks in a medium mixing bowl with an electtric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add butter, espresso powder, and vanilla. Beat on low speed until combined. Beat in egg whites until combined.

Using the point of a knife, losen cookies from molds, invert pan lightly onto a wire rack. Remove molds and cool cookies completly on rack. Drizzle with espresso icing (below) if desired.
