Creating the Best Tiramisu Cookies is simple with these clear, easy-to-follow steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

3. Add the Eggs: Mix in the eggs, one at a time, along with the vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6. Incorporate Coffee: Stir in the cooled espresso or coffee mixture until well blended into the dough.

7. Add Mascarpone: Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and semi-sweet chocolate chips, mixing until just combined.

8. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.

9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set.

10. Cool the Cookies: Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once the cookies have cooled, dust with powdered sugar and extra cocoa powder before serving.

12. Serve and Enjoy: These delightful cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they’re also fantastic stored in an airtight container for a few days.
