Description
Chewy cookies flavored like classic tiramisu.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the cooled strong coffee until the dough comes together.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Do not overbake.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, mix the softened mascarpone cheese with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until smooth.
- Place a small dollop of the mascarpone mixture between two cookies to form a sandwich.
- Dust the assembled cookies generously with the remaining powdered sugar and cocoa powder before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality instant espresso powder for the best coffee flavor.
- If the dough seems too soft, chill it for 15 minutes before scooping.
- You can substitute cream cheese for mascarpone if needed, but the flavor will change slightly.
