Delight in these rich and flavorful Tiramisu Cookies, inspired by the classic Italian dessert. Combining the deep notes of espresso with cocoa and a buttery, sugary dough, these cookies offer a perfect balance of sweetness and coffee aroma, dusted elegantly with powdered sugar for an irresistible finish.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled

For Dusting

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color, indicating proper aeration.
  4. Add Wet Flavorings: Incorporate the large egg, vanilla extract, and cooled espresso or strong coffee into the creamed butter and sugar. Beat until all ingredients are uniformly combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10 minutes, or until they are set and the edges begin to feel firm to the touch.
  8. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes directly on the sheet. Then, transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. Finish with Powdered Sugar: Once the cookies have cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a refined finish reminiscent of classic tiramisu.
  10. Optional Enhancement: To boost the coffee flavor, consider adding more espresso to the dough or substituting some granulated sugar with instant coffee granules before baking.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is fully softened for easier creaming with sugar.
  • Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies.
  • You can chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes if you want thicker cookies.
  • For a stronger coffee kick, add extra espresso or instant coffee granules.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies pair well with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk.
