Tiramisu Cookies

Tiramisu Cookies by A Spicy Perspective

Preheat oven to 375*

For the rum cookies: Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar, vanilla, and rum extract together until light and fluffy--3-5 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined.

****I didn't use Rum extract...only had Rum and that wouldn't work the same...

Add the baking powder and salt, then slowly add the flour to the mixture until well combined.

Scoop small 1 - 1 1/2 tsp. portions of dough and roll into balls. Place a little extra sugar in a small bowl and roll each ball in sugar before placing on a baking sheet.
Use the bottom of a glass to press the dough balls flat. Bake for 9-10 minutes.

***I think I smooshed them a little too much...


So then I smooshed them a little less...



For the mascarpone espresso filling: Wash the mixer bowl and dry well. Then place the mascarpone and butter in the bowl and beat to combine.
Pour the vanilla extract into a small bowl. Add the instant espresso powder and mix to disolve. Beat into the cheese mixture. Slowly add the powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Place the filling in a large zip bag and cut a tiny hole off the corner. Turn half of the cooled cookies over and pipe 1 tsp. of filling onto the bottom cookies.
***Didn't use the espresso either...


Top each cookie sandwich and sprinkle with cocoa powder.


I would TOTALLY make these again!!! They were so good!
My Guys liked them too =)
