Make soft, chewy cookies that capture the classic coffee and mascarpone flavor of Italian tiramisu. This recipe delivers a unique dessert cookie with espresso notes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened (for optional filling)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for optional filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Stir in the cooled espresso until the dough is uniform. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For a filled cookie, beat the mascarpone cheese and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Sandwich two cooled cookies together with about one teaspoon of the mascarpone cream.
  11. Before serving, dust the tops of the cookies lightly with a mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa powder.

Notes

  • Use high-quality instant espresso powder dissolved in hot water for the strongest coffee flavor in your cookie dough.
  • If you prefer a simpler cookie, skip the mascarpone filling and just dust with the cocoa/sugar mixture.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping if your kitchen is warm; this helps prevent spreading.
