Delight in these Tiramisu Cookies, a perfect blend of rich cocoa and espresso flavor inspired by the classic Italian dessert. Soft, moist, and dusted with powdered sugar, these cookies offer a wonderful coffee kick in every bite and are easy to prepare for any occasion.

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

Finishing

  • ½ cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside to ensure even distribution.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the large egg, vanilla extract, and cooled brewed espresso or strong coffee to the butter and sugar mixture until well combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing for tender cookies.
  6. Shape Cookies: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately to allow for slight spreading.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the cookies are set and edges feel firm.
  8. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on it for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust and Serve: Once cookies are fully cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar to add a classic tiramisu touch.
  10. Optional Flavor Boost: For a stronger coffee flavor, consider adding more espresso or substituting part of the granulated sugar with instant coffee granules in the dough.

Notes

  • Make sure the espresso or coffee is fully cooled before adding it to the batter to prevent cooking the egg.
  • Use room temperature unsalted butter for easier creaming and better cookie texture.
  • If you want a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a mocha twist, add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules along with the cocoa powder.
