Make soft, chewy Tiramisu Cookies inspired by the classic Italian dessert. These espresso-flavored cookies feature a rich mascarpone frosting and a dusting of cocoa powder for a gourmet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • For the Mascarpone Frosting:
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon strong brewed espresso, cooled

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of cooled espresso until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined into a soft dough.
  5. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the frosting: Beat the softened mascarpone cheese and butter together until smooth.
  8. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of cooled espresso. Beat until the frosting is light and creamy.
  9. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe a generous layer of mascarpone frosting onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Alternatively, frost the tops of individual cookies.
  10. Just before serving, dust the tops of the cookies generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Notes

  • For the best coffee flavor, use high-quality espresso powder dissolved in a small amount of hot water, then cooled.
  • If you prefer a firmer frosting, chill the finished cookies for 15 minutes before dusting with cocoa.
  • You can substitute strong brewed coffee for espresso if needed, but reduce the liquid slightly.
