4.4 from 102 reviews

These Tiramisu Cookie Cups combine the rich flavors of traditional tiramisu in a delightful, portable cookie form. Crispy cookie cups are baked to perfection, then filled with a creamy mascarpone mixture infused with coffee flavor, and finished with a dusting of cocoa powder for an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Make mascarpone filling: In a mixing bowl, blend mascarpone cheese with brewed coffee, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fill cookie cups: Once the cookie cups are completely cooled, spoon or pipe the mascarpone filling into each cookie cup evenly.
  5. 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.
