Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons espresso powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Mascarpone: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing at low speed just until the dough comes together.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set but soft in the center.
- Cool and Dust with Cocoa: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust the tops generously with cocoa powder for an authentic tiramisu flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the mascarpone is at room temperature to blend smoothly into the dough.
- Use freshly brewed strong espresso as a substitute if espresso powder is unavailable, but reduce liquid in the recipe slightly.
- For a more intense coffee flavor, sprinkle a little extra espresso powder on top before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
