Tiramisu Cookies image

Tiramisu is Italian for "pick me up," and that's exactly what these bite-size sweets with a creamy, boozy filling beg you to do.

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 large eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons instant espresso powder
1/2 cup cake flour, (not self-rising)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, for dusting
3/4 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons almond-flavored liqueur, such as amaretto
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

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.
