  • Total Time: 47 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution and prevents clumping, laying the foundation for well-balanced flavors throughout your cookies.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, beat the unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This process creates air pockets, contributing to that soft, chewy texture you want.
  3. Incorporate Eggs, Mascarpone, and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract. Make sure everything blends smoothly, ensuring a creamy, rich dough ready to soak up the espresso and cocoa flavors.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixes: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender and prevent them from turning tough.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step firms the dough, making it easier to shape the cookies and helping the flavors meld beautifully.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges set but centers remain soft—a sign they will stay chewy when cooled.
  7. Cool and Dust: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cool, dust with additional cocoa powder to capture that classic tiramisu look and enhance the flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh espresso powder for a stronger, more aromatic coffee flavor.
  • Don’t skip chilling the dough to control spreading and improve texture.
  • Measure flour accurately by spooning and leveling to avoid dry cookies.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and uniform dough.
  • Check cookies early at 10 minutes to avoid overbaking, as oven times may vary.
