Pay Attention to the Directions:Tiramisu Cookies
In a small bowl whisk together flour, espresso powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl beat together softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft and creamy. Beat in egg yolk, then beat in rum extract and vanilla extract until well combined, then beat in mascarpone cheese until just combined.
Beat in flour mixture to butter/sugar mixture until just combined. Scoop dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap, flatten into a large rectangle, and cover with wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Roll out chilled dough with a rolling pin to about 1/4-inch thickness or so. Use a 1 1/2-inch square cookie cutter to cut out dough. Place cutout dough onto prepared baking sheets. The dough does not spread much while baking, so you can place fairly close together.
Sprinkle a little unsweetened cocoa powder on the top of each cookie and spread with your finger to cover tops of each cookie.
Bake cookies about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown underneath. Cool slightly then place on wire cooking racks to cool completely.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cookies at room temperature. Although we love frozen cookies straight out of the freezer
These cookies would be delicious with an espresso or coffee, or even a cocktail or liqueur like Amaretto
For another fun treat, crush these cookies over ice cream, pudding, or other desserts
You can also serve with a sweetened mascarpone frosting for a fun dip for the cookies!
Quick Tips for Best Results
Be sure your butter is soft before mixing with the sugar to prevent lumps.
Use INSTANT espresso powder. I didn’t dissolve it any liquid and loved the little speckles in the cookies.
Chill your dough thoroughly like at least an hour or even overnight.
Keep the dough chilled as much as possible. If it warms too much while you’re cutting out the cookies, re-chill. Cold dough tends to keep it’s shape better when baked and easier to cut out.
You can roll the dough into any size thickness and cut into any shape, but you may need to adjust the baking time.
