Coffee tiramisu cookies – notes
I found the recipe for these delicious cookies on the blog Broma Bakery. Here I’m providing a slightly modified recipe, with the main changes concerning the mascarpone cream on top. The author of the recipe prepared it with a cup of sugar, which for me is an almost deadly amount ;) I prepared my cream with just two tablespoons of sugar, and the cookies were still sweet. With my cream, the tiramisu cookies tasted exquisite, not only to me but also to the rest of the household. If you like tiramisu and coffee flavors, then you will surely enjoy these cookies too!
What ingredients are needed to make tiramisu cookies?
To prepare coffee cookies, you need a few basic ingredients. Below, I list the products I used and possible substitutes.
- coffee – you need instant coffee powder – you add the powder directly to the cookies – do not mix it with water
- butter – I used extra butter with 82% fat content; this type of butter will be best, but you can ultimately also use a butter-type mix or vegetable butter
- mascarpone – this is a creamy and smooth Italian cream cheese; you can easily buy it in any Lidl or Biedronka, as well as in larger stores
- whipping cream – I used 30% fat content cream in a carton; you can also use 36% cream – in which case the calorie count will slightly increase
How to store tiramisu cookies?
If the mascarpone cream cookies are not eaten immediately, I recommend storing the cookies separately from the cream. You can transfer the cookies to an airtight container with a lid to prevent them from drying out and to keep them fresh for longer. Store the mascarpone cream in the refrigerator. It’s best to apply the cream to the cookies just before serving. Although cookies with cream can safely sit out for a few hours – this will also depend on the ambient temperature – the warmer it is, the shorter this period will be.
How to vary the flavor of coffee cookies?
If you want to slightly enhance the flavor of the cream cookies, instead of dusting them with bitter cocoa, you can grate chocolate over them – bitter or milk chocolate – depending on your taste preferences. And if you like strong coffee flavors, instead of cocoa or chocolate, sprinkle instant coffee powder over the mascarpone cream. You can also use flavored instant coffee here.
I hope these coffee cookies will appeal to you, your loved ones, or friends, and that you’ll gladly return to the recipe. If you use it, I’d be delighted if you share your impressions in the comments below the recipe :)
