Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, for cookies
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa), optional
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, for frosting
  • 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, for frosting
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk or cream (as needed for consistency)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter (for cookies) and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined to form a soft dough.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While cookies cool, prepare the coffee mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the cooled brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).
  8. Once cookies are completely cool, quickly dip the flat bottom of each cookie into the coffee mixture. Be careful not to over-soak, just a quick dip. Place dipped cookies back on the wire rack.
  9. For the mascarpone frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened mascarpone cheese and softened butter (for frosting) together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add milk or cream one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
  10. Once all cookies are dipped, spread or pipe a generous amount of mascarpone frosting onto the flat side of half of the cookies.
  11. Top with the remaining undipped cookies, pressing gently to create a sandwich.
  12. Just before serving, dust the top of each cookie sandwich generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the finished Tiramisu Cookies for at least 30 minutes before serving. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
