Ingredients

  • For the Cookies:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened – for rich, tender cookies.
  • 1 cup sugar – balances coffee and chocolate notes.
  • 2 large eggs – the glue that holds it all together.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – flavor booster.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour – the base of chewy goodness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder – slight lift.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt – brings out all the flavors.
  • 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder – for that tiramisu kick.
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder – optional for extra chocolatey vibe.
  • For the Mascarpone Filling:
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese – creamy dreamy filling.
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar – gentle sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – flavor enhancer.
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream whipped – lightens up the mascarpone into fluffy perfection.
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for dusting

Instructions

  • Prep & Preheat
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix Cookie Dough
  • In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and espresso powder. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
  • Shape Cookies
  • Scoop out dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and roll into balls. Place on the baking sheet, leaving room to spread. Flatten slightly with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
  • Bake
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers are soft. Don’t overbake—chewy is key. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Prepare Mascarpone Filling
  • Whip heavy cream to soft peaks. In another bowl, combine mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone until smooth and airy.
  • Assemble Cookies
  • Spread or pipe a generous dollop of mascarpone filling onto one cookie. Top with another cookie, gently pressing to sandwich the cream. Repeat with remaining cookies.
  • Optional Topping
  • Dust with cocoa powder or shave chocolate over the top for that authentic tiramisu look.
  • Chill & Serve
  • Chill for 30–60 minutes to let filling firm up. Then… devour!
