Tiramisu Bar Cookies
From: Rebecca @ www.foodiewithfamily.com/
Classic Tiramisu flavours -chocolate, coffee, mascarpone, and rum- combine to make the ne plus ultra of bar cookies.
This is one cookie you won't soon forget!
Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes
Ingredients
For the Cookie Base:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated or raw sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons beaten egg
1 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
For the Tiramisu Topping:
1/4 cup extra strong brewed coffee or espresso
1/4 cup dark rum
1 cup mascarpone
1 (8 ounce) brick Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
one bar semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
To Create 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 (ish) 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.
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.
Spread evenly over the cooled cookie base.
Grate the chocolate bar with a fine grater over the cream topping.
Cut into 20 servings.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped, for up to a week, but are best before four days.
