Cookie Cups
- 1 batch of cookie dough (about 2 cups)
Mascarpone Filling
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 tbsp brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Prepare cookie dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Press the cookie dough into greased mini muffin tins, forming cup shapes with an indentation in the center to hold the filling.
- Bake cookie cups: Bake the cookie dough cups in the oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan before removing to prevent breaking.
- Make mascarpone filling: In a mixing bowl, blend mascarpone cheese with brewed coffee, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fill cookie cups: Once the cookie cups are completely cooled, spoon or pipe the mascarpone filling into each cookie cup evenly.
- Dust with cocoa powder: Using a fine sieve, lightly dust the filled cookie cups with cocoa powder for the classic tiramisu finish. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure cookie cups are fully cooled before filling to prevent the mascarpone from melting.
- Brewed coffee adds authentic tiramisu flavor; for a stronger taste, use espresso shots instead.
- These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Use a sturdy cookie dough that holds shape well when baked in muffin tins.
