TIRAMISU SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the milk, espresso powder and vanilla in a liquid measuring cup until dissolved. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the egg and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in half of the flour mixture, then the milk mixture, then the remaining flour mixture. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
• Drop tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets (dip the spoon in water if the dough sticks); form into even mounds with damp fingers. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are set around the edges and the tops spring back when touched, about 10 minutes. Let cool 3 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Make the filling: Beat the mascarpone, cream cheese, 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar and the vanilla in a medium bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and light, about 1 minute. Transfer half of the filling to a separate bowl. Stir the liqueur and espresso powder in a small bowl until dissolved, then add to the remaining filling and beat until combined. Transfer the fillings to separate large resealable plastic bags and snip a corner on each.
• Flip over half of the cookies; pipe a circle of espresso filling around the edge of the cookies. Pipe the plain filling inside the circles and sandwich with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until the filling is firm, about 1 hour. Dust with confectioners¿ sugar.

TIRAMISU COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• For the Cookie Base:
• BEAT together the butter, sugar, and egg until creamy, then beat in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder then add into the butter mixture and beat on low until evenly combined with no dry pockets. Press this into an ungreased non-stick 15 x 10 jelly roll pan to cover the bottom of the pan. The cookie dough does not need to go up the sides of the pan (indeed, it'll slump down while baking even if you do try to work it up the sides.) Lightly cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for a half an hour.
• PREHEAT the oven to 400˚F.
• BAKE the cookie base for 15 minutes, or until set up and golden brown. The edges may be slightly more brown, but should not be a deep brown. Let it cool completely in the pan before topping.
• To Make the Topping and Prepare the Tiramisu Bar Cookies:
• STIR together the coffee or espresso and rum. Spoon 2 tablespoons of it into the bowl of a stand mixer or mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, mascarpone, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth and creamy. Sift in the confectioner's sugar and beat until smooth and fluffy.
• BRUSH the remaining coffee or espresso and rum mixture onto the cooled cookie base. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over cookie base.
• GRATE the chocolate bar with a fine grater over the cream topping.
• CUT into 20 servings.

INDIVIDUAL TIRAMISU CUPS

Steps:

• Whip cream to medium-firm peaks. Fold in vanilla extract, cover and refrigerate.
• Break ladyfingers in half, so they will fit into the jars.
• Whisk sugar and egg yolks in a double boiler over simmering water, until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and it appears ribbony and lighter in color. Transfer to a stand mixture with a whisk attachment, and beat for 5 minutes until thoroughly lightened and cooled.
• Place mascarpone into large mixing bowl. Stir in 2 TB. marsala and 1 ½ teasp. rum. Add a spoonful of the whipped cream and stir in gently to lighten the mixture. Fold in HALF of the remaining whipped cream.
• Prepare soaking liquid: Combine cooled coffee and next 3 ingredients in a wide shallow dish.
• To build individual portions, prepare six half-pint canning jars, and have lids and rings ready. Place mascarpone cream into a gallon-size zip top bag and snip off corner to make it easy to pipe into jars. (You will make 3 layers of mascarpone cream, 2 layers of dipped ladyfingers, and a layer of whipped cream on top.).
• Pipe 1/4" mascarpone cream into bottom of jars. Quickly dunk ladyfinger halves into coffee mixture, and place 2 pieces side-by-side on top of the mascarpone layer. Pipe another layer of mascarpone on top of ladyfingers. Repeat the dunked ladyfingers layer, and top with another layer of mascarpone. Top with whipped cream, and smooth top with a small spatula. You should have enough ingredients to completely fill 6 jars. Place lids and rings on jars, and at this point you may freeze for future use, up to one month, or serve within 24 hours.
• This may be built in a glass loaf pan instead of individual servings if desired. Prepare the same way, using whole ladyfingers instead of pieces.
• Remove from freezer to refrigerator 1-3 hours before serving. Just before serving, remove lids, and dust tops with unsweetened cocoa. Garnish with a whole coffee bean.
