Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Mascarpone Cream:

  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons agave or honey
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  • Make the Cookies:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    In a bowl, melt butter and combine with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.
    In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, instant espresso powder, and salt.
    Gradually mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until fully combined.
    Scoop dough onto a baking sheet, and chill the cookie dough for 15-20 minutes.
    Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool completely.
  • Make the Mascarpone Cream:
    In a mixing bowl, whip together mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, confectioners’ sugar, agave or honey, and heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Assemble the Cookies:
    Pipe the mascarpone cream onto the cooled cookies.
    Dust with cocoa powder for an authentic tiramisu look.
  • Enjoy:
    Let the cookies set for a few minutes and enjoy your Tiramisu Cookies!

Notes

  • You can substitute the agave or honey with maple syrup for a different flavor.
  • For an added kick, drizzle a small amount of coffee or liqueur over the cookies before adding the mascarpone cream.
  • Make sure to let the cookies cool completely before piping the cream to avoid melting.
