These soft and decadent tiramisu cookies are all the flavors of the classic dessert packed into cookie form. Soft coffee flavored cookies topped with mascarpone frosting and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Combine melted butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium high for a few minutes until creamed together.
Add in the egg and vanilla and mix again.
Add in the remaining dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and espresso powder. Mix thoroughly, scraping down the sides often and mixing again.
Measure out a heaping tablespoon or about 1 inch size dough balls - about the size of a ping pong ball - and roll into a ball. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Chill for about 30 minutes to prevent spread.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line your baking sheets with parchment.
Once the cookies have chilled, place them about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets. Bake for about 10-12 or until the edges are slightly browned and the center is set.
For the frosting
Combine heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla on low until combined.
Bump up the speed to medium/high for an additional 1-2 minutes or until stiff peaks form and the frosting holds its shape. Do not over mix or it will deflate.
Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
Once the cookies have cooled, pipe a spiral of frosting to cover the tops of each of the cookies.
Sprinkle with a dusting of cocoa powder.
