Step-by-Step Instructions for Tiramisu cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  3. Cream softened unsalted butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine the instant coffee granules with hot water in a small bowl and allow to cool slightly.
  6. Gradually mix the dissolved coffee into the creamed butter and sugar, then fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  7. Drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Beat together the mascarpone cheese and whipped cream, mixing in coffee liqueur if desired, until fluffy.
  11. Spread filling on the flat side of one cookie, sandwich with another cookie, and repeat until filled.
  12. Dust the finished cookies with cocoa powder before serving.
