Tiramisu Cookies capture the creamy richness and espresso-infused flavors of classic Italian tiramisu in a deliciously soft and slightly crunchy cookie. Easy to make with simple ingredients, these cookies offer a perfect balance of sweetness, coffee flavor, and texture, ideal for snacks, desserts, or gifting.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour – 1 ¾ cups (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – 2 tablespoons
  • Espresso Powder – 1 tablespoon
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • Butter, softened – ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks)
  • Sugar – ¾ cup
  • Eggs – 2 large
  • Mascarpone Cheese – ¾ cup
  • Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
  • Marsala Wine or Coffee Liqueur (optional) – 1 tablespoon

Finishing

  • Powdered Sugar – for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Cream the softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract and mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt. This provides structure and deep coffee-chocolate flavor.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender and soft.
  4. Optional Marsala or Coffee Liqueur: Fold in one tablespoon of Marsala wine or coffee liqueur for an elegant boozy note reminiscent of traditional tiramisu.
  5. Shape and Chill: Scoop uniform balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to solidify the dough and help maintain cookie shape.
  6. Bake and Cool: Bake cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack.
  7. Finish: Dust cooled cookies generously with powdered sugar. Optionally, add a light sprinkle of cocoa powder for classic tiramisu presentation.

Notes

  • Use high-quality espresso powder for authentic coffee flavor without bitterness.
  • Ensure butter, eggs, and mascarpone are at room temperature for even mixing.
  • Chill the cookie dough to prevent spreading and maintain a chewy texture.
  • Measure flour using the spoon and level method to avoid dense cookies.
  • Slightly underbake cookies to keep soft centers reminiscent of tiramisu’s creamy texture.
