These soft, coffee-infused cookies dusted with powdered sugar bring the essence of tiramisu into a convenient, bite-sized treat ideal for coffee lovers and cookie enthusiasts alike.

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

For Dusting

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution and removes lumps; set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the dough.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: To the creamed butter mixture, add the egg, vanilla extract, and cooled espresso. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the dough.
  6. Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough evenly spaced onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing room for slight spreading during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are set with edges just firm. This timing helps retain a soft center.
  8. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing sogginess.
  9. Finish with Powdered Sugar: Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a classic tiramisu look and added sweetness.
  10. Optional Coffee Flavor Boost: For a stronger coffee taste, you can increase the amount of espresso in the dough or substitute a portion of the granulated sugar with instant coffee granules.

Notes

  • Use brewed espresso or strong coffee for best flavor infusion in the dough.
  • Ensure butter is softened but not melted for optimal creaming results.
  • Do not overmix dough to maintain soft cookies.
  • Cookies will firm up slightly after cooling but should remain soft inside.
  • Powdered sugar dusting adds a traditional tiramisu aesthetic and slight sweetness.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
