These irresistible cookies feature a delicate coffee-flavored mascarpone cream filling nestled in a perfectly powdered sugar-coated cookie, making for a luscious treat perfect for dessert or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar (for rolling)

For the Tiramisu Filling:

  • 4 oz (115g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp instant espresso powder (or very strong coffee)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, around 2 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the milk, then gradually add the dry ingredient mixture, mixing just until the dough forms.
  2. Roll and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each into a smooth ball. Thoroughly coat each ball by rolling it in powdered sugar. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops crack and the cookies are puffed but remain soft in the center. Remove from the oven and immediately press the back of a teaspoon or cookie scoop into the center of each cookie to create a shallow well. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
  3. Prepare the Tiramisu Cream: In a medium bowl, beat the room temperature mascarpone cheese until smooth. Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, instant espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until fluffy and resembling soft whipped cream, being careful not to overbeat to maintain a light texture.
  4. Fill and Finish: Once the cookies have fully cooled, spoon or pipe a dollop of the tiramisu cream into the shallow well on each cookie. Just before serving, lightly dust the tops with unsweetened cocoa powder for an authentic tiramisu touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smooth filling.
  • Use instant espresso powder for the best coffee flavor without adding liquid that could alter the cream consistency.
  • Do not overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the center for the perfect texture.
  • Pressing the wells immediately after baking is crucial as cookies are still soft, making it easier to create a perfect indent for the filling.
  • Store filled cookies in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • For a different flavor profile, try dusting with cinnamon instead of cocoa powder.
