Ingredients You\u2019ll Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the cookies:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
\u2013 \u00be cup brown sugar
\u2013 \u00bc cup granulated sugar
\u2013 2 large eggs
\u2013 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
\u2013 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
\u2013 2\u00bc cups all-purpose flour
\u2013 1 teaspoon baking soda
\u2013 \u00bd teaspoon baking powder
\u2013 \u00bd teaspoon salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the mascarpone frosting:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 4 oz mascarpone cheese, cold
\u2013 4 oz cream cheese, softened
\u2013 \u00bc cup unsalted butter, softened
\u2013 2 cups powdered sugar
\u2013 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\u2013 1\u20132 tablespoons heavy cream (if needed for consistency)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the topping:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
\u2013 Optional: a light espresso drizzle or shaved dark chocolate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Bake the Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start by creaming together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy\u2014about 2\u20133 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla, and espresso powder, mixing until fully combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix just until a soft dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes if you want a puffier cookie (optional, but helpful).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each), and bake for 10\u201312 minutes, or until the edges are just set but the centers look soft. Let them cool completely before frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the Dreamy Frosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a mixing bowl, beat together mascarpone, cream cheese, and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add a touch of cream to loosen it. Transfer the frosting to a piping bag with a round or star tip for bakery-style swirls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pipe generous swirls of mascarpone frosting onto each cooled cookie. Then, finish with a light dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder for that authentic tiramisu finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for Tiramisu Cookie Bliss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 No espresso powder?<\/strong> You can dissolve instant coffee in a teaspoon of hot water and add it to the dough instead.
\u2013 Make it extra:<\/strong> Drizzle the frosted cookies with a little espresso syrup or top with chocolate shavings for a bold twist.
\u2013 Storage:<\/strong> Keep the cookies refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
\u2013 Freezer-friendly:<\/strong> Freeze unfrosted cookies and frost fresh when ready to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
