Ingredient Breakdown
To whip up these delightful cookies, you’ll need some simple ingredients you might already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Cocoa powder for dusting
Let’s Get Cooking!
The process is honestly super simple, and I promise you’ll love every step of the way. Here’s how we make these amazing Tiramisu Cookies:
Preheat the Oven: Get your oven ready by preheating it to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper trust me, it helps with easy cleanup!
Cream Butter and Sugars (5 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial because it gives our cookies that lovely texture, and the smell? Oh my gosh, it’s heavenly.
Add Eggs and Vanilla (3 minutes): Next, beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Keep mixing until everything is just beautifully combined, so good!
Combine Dry Ingredients (2 minutes): In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Sifting is key here, don’t skip it! It helps to prevent any cocoa lumps and makes for a smoother dough.
Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients (3 minutes): Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Don’t overdo it, stir just until you don’t see any more flour.
Incorporate Coffee and Mascarpone (2 minutes): Now, it’s time to stir in the cooled espresso and mascarpone cheese. You want to achieve a smooth and creamy texture, this is where the magic really begins!
Fold in Chocolate Chips (1 minute): If you’re feeling indulgent (and who isn’t?), now’s the time to fold in the chocolate chips. It’s an option, but it sure takes the cookies to the next level.
Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake (10-12 minutes): Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set, but the centers are still slightly soft. You want a bit of a wobble in the middle trust me; they’ll set as they cool!
Cool (10 minutes): Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Dust with Cocoa: Once cooled, dust the tops of the cookies with cocoa powder for that classic tiramisu look! Oh, and the smell? Just imagine…
These steps will guide you in creating these incredible cookies that are bound to be a crowd-pleaser!
