Tiramisu Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and extracts. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. , Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets; flatten slightly with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake until edges begin to brown slightly, 12-14 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks; cool completely., For filling, in a large bowl, beat mascarpone cheese and butter until smooth. In a small bowl, dissolve instant coffee in vanilla; beat into mascarpone mixture. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Pipe or spread filling on bottoms of half the cookies; cover with remaining cookies. Dust cookies with cocoa. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the milk, espresso powder and vanilla in a liquid measuring cup until dissolved. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the egg and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in half of the flour mixture, then the milk mixture, then the remaining flour mixture. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
• Drop tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets (dip the spoon in water if the dough sticks); form into even mounds with damp fingers. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are set around the edges and the tops spring back when touched, about 10 minutes. Let cool 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Make the filling: Beat the mascarpone, cream cheese, 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar and the vanilla in a medium bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and light, about 1 minute. Transfer half of the filling to a separate bowl. Stir the liqueur and espresso powder in a small bowl until dissolved, then add to the remaining filling and beat until combined. Transfer the fillings to separate large resealable plastic bags and snip a corner on each.
• Flip over half of the cookies; pipe a circle of espresso filling around the edge of the cookies. Pipe the plain filling inside the circles and sandwich with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until the filling is firm, about 1 hour. Dust with confectioners¿ sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Using a mixer with the whisk attachment, beat yolks and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until pale and stiff, about 3 minutes. Add espresso powder, and beat for 2 minutes. Add flour, and beat until just combined. (Mixture will be very thick.)
• In a clean bowl, using a clean whisk attachment, beat whites and salt on medium speed until foamy. With the machine running, add remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a slow stream, beating until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Fold whites into yolk mixture in 3 additions until well combined.
• Using a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip (such as Ateco #806), pipe batter onto baking sheets into 60 lines that are 2 inches long and 1 inch wide, spacing 1 inch apart. Dust with cocoa.
• Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until firm, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely on parchment on wire racks. (Cookies can be stored for up to 3 days.)
• Stir together mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, liqueur, and vanilla until well combined. Cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes (or up to 3 days).
• When ready to serve, brush the cookies' flat sides with melted chocolate. Refrigerate, flat side up, until chocolate is firm, about 10 minutes.
• Spread a generous 1/2 teaspoon mascarpone filling over chocolate side of half of the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.
• In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart. Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
• Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
• Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.
• Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

Steps:

• For the Cookie Base:
• BEAT together the butter, sugar, and egg until creamy, then beat in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder then add into the butter mixture and beat on low until evenly combined with no dry pockets. Press this into an ungreased non-stick 15 x 10 jelly roll pan to cover the bottom of the pan. The cookie dough does not need to go up the sides of the pan (indeed, it'll slump down while baking even if you do try to work it up the sides.) Lightly cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for a half an hour.
• PREHEAT the oven to 400˚F.
• BAKE the cookie base for 15 minutes, or until set up and golden brown. The edges may be slightly more brown, but should not be a deep brown. Let it cool completely in the pan before topping.
• To Make the Topping and Prepare the Tiramisu Bar Cookies:
• STIR together the coffee or espresso and rum. Spoon 2 tablespoons of it into the bowl of a stand mixer or mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, mascarpone, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth and creamy. Sift in the confectioner's sugar and beat until smooth and fluffy.
• BRUSH the remaining coffee or espresso and rum mixture onto the cooled cookie base. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over cookie base.
• GRATE the chocolate bar with a fine grater over the cream topping.
• CUT into 20 servings.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, whip together egg yolks and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until very pale yellow and about tripled in volume. A slight ribbon should fall from the beaters (or whisk attachment) when lifted from the bowl. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, wiping out the medium bowl used to whip the yolks and set aside.
• In the medium bowl, whip cream and remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until it creates soft-medium peaks. Add mascarpone and continue to whip until it creates a soft, spreadable mixture with medium peaks. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the sweetened egg yolks until combined.
• Combine espresso and rum in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Using a sifter, dust the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish (an 8x8-inch dish, or a 9-inch round cake pan would also work here) with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
• Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture -- they are quite porous and will fall apart if left in the liquid too long -- and place them rounded side up at the bottom of the baking dish. Repeat, using half the ladyfingers, until you've got an even layer, breaking the ladyfingers in half as needed to fill in any obvious gaps (a little space in between is O.K.). Spread half the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers in one even layer. Repeat with remaining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
• Dust top layer with remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder. Top with shaved or finely grated chocolate, if desired.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (if you can wait 24 hours, all the better) before slicing or scooping to serve.
