Make bakery-style Tiramisu Cookies that taste like the classic Italian dessert. These soft, espresso-flavored cookies sandwich a rich mascarpone cream filling and finish with a dusting of cocoa powder.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder, dissolved in 1 teaspoon hot water
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, cold
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (if needed)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and the dissolved espresso mixture until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  6. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the 1/2 cup softened butter until smooth.
  8. Add the cold mascarpone cheese and beat until just combined.
  9. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Beat until smooth. If the filling is too stiff, add heavy cream one teaspoon at a time until you reach a spreadable consistency.
  10. To assemble, spread a generous layer of mascarpone filling onto the flat side of one cooled cookie. Top with a second cookie to create a sandwich.
  11. Dust the tops of the assembled cookies generously with unsweetened cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor in the cookie dough, increase the instant espresso powder to 1 tablespoon.
  • If you are looking for easy entertaining ideas that save time, consider using a good meal planning system to organize your baking schedule.
  • Chill the assembled cookies for 15 minutes before dusting with cocoa powder to help the filling set slightly.
