Chewy espresso cookies with a creamy mascarpone frosting, inspired by classic tiramisu.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the Mascarpone Frosting:
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Stir in the dissolved espresso mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. For the frosting, beat together the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, spread or pipe the mascarpone frosting onto the bottom of one cookie and top with another.
  11. Dust the tops of the cookies with cocoa powder.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, you can add an extra teaspoon of espresso powder to the dough.
  • Ensure your mascarpone cheese is at room temperature for the smoothest frosting.
  • These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
