Directions for this Tiramisu Cookies
For the Cookies:
- Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Form the Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls (about 1 tablespoon per cookie) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden and the centers are just set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Mascarpone Cream Frosting:
- Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the thickened cream until stiff peaks form.
- Combine with Mascarpone: In a separate bowl, whisk together mascarpone cream and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined and fluffy.
- Add Cocoa: Sift in the cocoa powder and mix until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Once the Tiramisu Cookies have cooled, spread or pipe a generous amount of mascarpone cream frosting onto the tops of each cookie. Optionally, dust with additional cocoa powder for a decorative touch.
