I’ve got the most perfect, mid-afternoon pick me up for you, Tiramisu Cookies Recipe, chewy coffee-flavoured cookies with creamy mascarpone and coffee liqueur frosting. And you can’t forget a dusting of cocoa to complete the tiramisu crown to these cookies.

The cookies have a deep coffee flavour with the rich treacle flavour from the brown sugar base. The cookies take no time at all to cook and cool, meaning you can whip these up as easy as anything if you need your caffeine hit. I love the creamy mascarpone frosting to top these cookies, you could pipe them simply, and then sandwich the cookies but I love the mock tops of tiramisu’s on these cookies with their cute peaks.

You can leave out the coffee liqueur from the frosting and keep it as plain mascarpone frosting, it just gives a nice rich depth to the frosting and pairs so well with the coffee in the cookies. You can make the cookies ahead of time and store them in an airtight container, then decorate them when about to serve so the cookie doesn’t lose any of its fabulous crunch and chew. And you can show off your piping skills in front of your friends or even better get them to decorate their own!
