Eggless Tiramisu Cookies with Mascarpone Frosting, No Refined Flour

By Apurvi Bansal

These Cookies are for every Coffee lover or for those who want to try some thing other than Classic Tiramisu Coffee Dessert. Here, I am sharing with you how to bake Tiramisu Cookies or Coffee Cookies without Eggs also, in this Recipe I have replaced All purpose Flour with Whole Wheat flour though this changes the texture of the Cookies slightly but does not compromise on taste.

In the Recipe I am using Instant Coffee Powder mixed in milk you can replace it with Espresso shot simply, skip the milk and Instant Coffee Powder and use the same quantity of Espresso shot in ml, this way you will get the closer taste to the Classic Tiramisu.

If you want you can also use Regular All purpose Flour instead of Whole wheat flour like I have in the same quantity just decrease the quantity of milk/espresso shot by 5-10 grams since refined flour requires less liquid as compared to wheat flour.

Ingredients:

120gm; 1 Cup; 4.2 Oz Whole Wheat Flour
10gm; 1tbsp Cornflour
1/2tsp Baking Soda
112gm; 1/2 Cup; 4 Oz Butter
Pinch of Salt
55gm; 1/4 Cup; 2 Oz Caster Sugar
50gm; 1/4 Cup (packed); 1.7 Oz Brown Sugar
40ml; 2tbsp + 2tsp; 1.35 Oz Milk
3gm; 1tsp Instant Coffee
1/2tsp Vanilla Extract
Cocoa Powder- Dusting
Mascarpone Frosting-
70gm; 1/3 Cup; 2.5 Oz Mascarpone Cream
40gm Sugar
32gm Whipped Cream

Method:

1. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients and set aside.

2. In another bowl, whisk the butter, caster sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.

3. In a glass, mix lukewarm milk, instant coffee, and vanilla extract. Let it cool.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter-sugar mixture and gently fold. Pour in the cooled coffee milk and fold just until a cookie dough forms. Do not overmix.

5. Scoop the dough and roll it in cocoa powder.

6. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 11-14 minutes until crisp at the edges and soft in the center.

7. Let the cookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Pipe mascarpone frosting on top and dust with cocoa powder. Use a flat utensil to cover half of the cookie while dusting for the tiramisu effect.

9. Garnish with a coffee bean or cocoa nibs. Enjoy!
