Ingredients Breakdown
Before we dive into the actual process of making these delicious cookies, let’s gather the ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 180 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 115 g unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 50 g brown sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 g mascarpone cheese
- 100 g whipping cream
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the cream layer)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for dusting)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
This is important! We want our cookies to start baking as soon as they hit the oven.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Just combine those dry ingredients and get everything evenly mixed, trust me, this only takes a minute!In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Oh, the smell of butter and sugar blending together is just heavenly! Use a hand mixer here if you want, but you can totally do it by hand if you’re feeling strong and want to break a little sweat in the kitchen.Add in the egg and the teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until combined.
This mixture should be nice and creamy now, don’t you just love that?Gradually mix in the dry ingredients from the first bowl.
Stir gently, but don’t overdo it! We want a nice cookie dough consistency.Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and space them apart (about 2 inches).
These babies’ll spread a bit, so give them room to breathe!Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Keep an eye on them because every oven is a little different!Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
This part is so hard, just try not to eat them all while they’re still warm. You can do it!Meanwhile, prepare your mascarpone filling! In a mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form.
It’s like a mini workout! You want it nice and fluffy.Fold in the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
I usually take my time with this part; the smell is incredible, and I can’t help but taste… just to make sure it’s perfect, of course!Once the cookies are cool, spread the mascarpone mixture in between two cookies to create a sandwich.
Yes, please! The filling is dreamy, just like in a traditional tiramisu.Dust the tops with cocoa powder using a fine mesh strainer.
This gives them that authentic touch of tiramisu. Plus, it’s so pretty!
