Ingredients

For the Cookies

• 110 g butter

• 100 g granulated sugar

• 100 g dark brown sugar

• 1 egg (57-60 g with shell)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 230 g all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

For the Mascarpone Cream

• 180 g mascarpone cheese

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 90 g confectioners’ sugar

• 20 g agave or honey

• 120 g heavy cream

• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cookies

1. Melt the butter in the microwave or over low heat in a small saucepan. Be careful not to let it bubble to prevent moisture loss. Transfer the melted butter to a large mixing bowl and let it cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes.

2. Once the butter reaches room temperature, add the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix with a spatula or a stand mixer using the paddle attachment for about 1 minute.

1. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, instant espresso powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

3. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out 11 cookies and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll each portion into a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour.

4. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (355ºF) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange 6 cookies per tray and bake one tray at a time for 10-11 minutes.

5. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Mascarpone Cream

1. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer (or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment) to whip all the mascarpone cream ingredients together until stiff peaks form. If preparing in advance, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3: Assemble the Tiramisu Cookies

1. Transfer the mascarpone cream into a piping bag fitted with a round tip (e.g., Wilton 2A).

2. Pipe a swirl of mascarpone cream onto each cookie, starting from the center and working outward.

3. Use a fine mesh sieve to dust cocoa powder over the cookies.

Serving & Storage Tips

• Enjoy these cookies fresh for the best texture!

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• For a more intense tiramisu flavor, you can brush the cookies lightly with espresso before adding the mascarpone topping!
