Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 113 g Unsalted Butter Provides richness and moisture; can be replaced with margarine if necessary.
  • 100 g Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and structure; substitute with coconut sugar for a less refined option.
  • 50 g Brown Sugar Contributes to chewiness and deep flavor; light brown or dark brown sugar both work well.
  • 1 whole Egg Acts as a binder and adds fluffiness; use a flax egg for a vegan alternative.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor; can use almond extract for a different undertone.
  • 180 g All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; substitute with gluten-free flour mix if needed.
  • 1.5 tablespoons Espresso Powder Infuses coffee flavor akin to the classic tiramisu.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps cookies rise; ensure it's fresh.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda Assists in leavening; omit if not available.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.
For the Mascarpone Topping
  • 200 g Mascarpone Cheese Creamy topping that mirrors traditional tiramisu; cream cheese can be a substitute.
  • 100 g Heavy Cream Adds richness to the mascarpone mixture; coconut cream may serve as a lighter alternative.
  • 40 g Icing Sugar Sweetens the mascarpone cream; can use powdered sugar if icing sugar isn't available.
  • Cocoa Powder For dusting, adds a classic finish to the cookies.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Prepare your baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and espresso powder. Whisk until evenly mixed.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugars. Mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry mixture until just blended.
  6. Scoop the dough, shape into balls, and place on the baking tray, spaced at least 1.5 inches apart.
  7. Chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  8. Bake for approximately 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers remain soft.
  9. Prepare the mascarpone topping by whisking together mascarpone, heavy cream, icing sugar, and a splash of vanilla.
  10. After cooling, spoon the mascarpone topping onto each cookie and dust with cocoa powder.
