How to Make Tiramisu Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the instant coffee and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. If desired, fold in chocolate chips.

How to Serve Tiramisu Cookies
Serve Tiramisu Cookies warm or at room temperature. They are great on their own, but they also pair nicely with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an extra treat, add a dollop of whipped cream on top.
How to Store Tiramisu Cookies
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them fresh for longer, you can freeze them. Just place them in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers, and they can last up to three months.
Tips to Make Tiramisu Cookies
- Make sure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
- Don’t overbake the cookies. They should be soft when you take them out of the oven; they will firm up as they cool.
- If you want a stronger coffee flavor, add a little extra instant coffee granules.
Variation
You can add a layer of cream cheese frosting to make them even richer. Just mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a hint of vanilla for a delicious topping.
FAQs
1. Can I use brewed coffee instead of instant coffee granules?
Yes, you can, but reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe to keep the dough from getting too wet.
2. Can I use gluten-free flour?
Yes, you can substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version of the cookies.
3. How can I make the cookies more chocolatey?
Add extra chocolate chips to the dough or drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies after baking for a chocolate overload!
