Tiramisu is Italian for "pick me up," and that's exactly what these bite-size sweets with a creamy, boozy filling beg you to do.

Cook's Notes

These taste best fresh, but you can prepare the components ahead and assemble the cookies just before serving.

    My batter was EXTREMELY liquid. I added flour and sugar so it could become thicker. Didn't make much of a difference. I couldn't make cookies out of it so I ended up making a cake. To top it off, by filling was WAY to strong.

      So was mine the first time. You need to make sure the egg yolk batter is stiff and the egg whites are very stiff. Turn the egg white bowl upside down to ensure they arestiff enough to remain in the bowl without moving. When I did that the batter was not so ooozey. I also added mor confectioners sugar to the filling. Not too much or you will lose the tiramisu flavor and end up with a boozey frosting. Also had to add time to the baking. But that is most likely my oven temp being off. I need to get it calibrated.

    To the person who suggested almond extract in substitute for the almond liquer: Almond extract still has alcohol (18~35%), so it wouldn't help that person's alcohol allergy.

    Everyone loved these cookies when me and my friend made them... we've actually made them multiple times in different ways. We weren't really good at piping the cookies so they ran in odd shapes but oh well. We've also made them in madeliene tins and got softer results. For the mascarpone we used a full cup... 8 oz... because that's how much trader joes gives you and we had no other use for it... I found that this made the filling less gooey. These cookies are good fresh or chilled.

    Re: the amount of eggs. The whipped egg whites provide structure rather than moisture. I think reducing the number of eggs would just make the cookies, weak, or dense, or at the very least lessen the amount of cookies you get out of the recipe.

    What about using the liquid flavors (like the kind in the snow cone flavor section)? You wouldn't have to change the amount I don't think.

    Five egg sounds like a lot of moisture to me with the small amout of dry ingredients. Might reduce the egg by one or two and see what happens if you are willing to experiment . The cake flour is light and not going to add much thickness. You could also go the other way and add a couple extra TBSp flour. Cake flour and regular flour do not measure cup for cup. You always add a couple of extra Tbsp of cake flour when measuring if you are substituting for reg. flour.the past.

    maybe try almond flavored extract? they sell it at every store near the spices. It's pretty strong though, you might have to adjust it to taste by diluting it with water.

    I am HIGHLY allergic to any and all alcohol (lips turn blue, hard time breathing - not a pretty sight). Is there a substitute for the liqueur?

    If you are having trouble finding instant espresso try using Starbucks VIA instant coffee. It is micro ground, so it will be super fine. I would personally use the Decaf Italian VIA!
