Tiramisu Cookies capture the classic flavors of tiramisu in a delightful handheld dessert. Featuring tender coffee-infused cookies sandwiched with a luscious, creamy mascarpone filling and finished with a dusting of cocoa powder, these cookies offer a unique and irresistible treat perfect for sharing and special occasions.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend for adaptation)
  • Instant Espresso Powder
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Sugar
  • Eggs (or flax/chia eggs for vegan/egg-free version)
  • Vanilla Extract

Mascarpone Filling

  • Mascarpone Cheese (or dairy-free mascarpone alternative for vegan version)
  • Sugar
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Heavy Cream

Finishing

  • Cocoa Powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Start by creaming together the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the eggs and vanilla extract, then sift in the flour and instant espresso powder to form a soft dough. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to work with.
  2. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a lined baking sheet, keeping space between each. Press each ball gently to flatten slightly and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely before assembling.
  3. Make the Mascarpone Filling: Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, blend mascarpone cheese with a bit of sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Cookies: Spread or pipe a generous amount of mascarpone filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then sandwich with a second cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies, and dust cocoa powder over the assembled sandwiches for a classic tiramisu look.

Notes

  • Chill the dough well to help cookies keep their shape and bake evenly.
  • Use quality espresso powder for an intensely rich coffee flavor.
  • Do not overbake; slightly underbaked cookies remain soft and chewy.
  • Fold whipped cream gently into mascarpone to keep filling light and fluffy.
  • Store assembled cookies refrigerated to maintain freshness and texture.
