Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter until fluffy, then add in 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of espresso powder, mixing until smooth.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until firm.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once chilled, scoop the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls using your hands.
- Generously coat each ball in powdered sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart for even baking.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the Tiramisu Crinkle Cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Immediately after removing them from the oven, use your thumb to create an indent in the center of each cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to set, then gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of mascarpone cheese with 1/2 cup of heavy cream.
- Use an electric mixer to whip the mixture on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until it becomes glossy and slightly thickened.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, carefully spoon the mascarpone filling into the indents you created earlier.
- After filling, dust the tops lightly with cocoa powder for an elegant finish reminiscent of classic tiramisu.
- For a refreshing treat, place the filled cookies in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes
Room temperature ingredients yield better mixing. Generously coat dough balls in powdered sugar before baking for the crinkle effect. Customize with different extracts if desired.
