Sweet meets bold in a dessert that has taken social feeds by storm. Creator Gallymini reinvented two classics by swapping ladyfingers for chunky cookies, giving us the “Tiramicookies”: a layered treat where soft cookie, crunchy chocolate chips, and silky mascarpone collide. Read on for an easy, crowd-pleasing recipe and smart tips to pull it off at home.
Ingredients for Tiramicookies: cookie dough, mascarpone cream, and assembly
Cookie dough
- 140 g salted butter, melted
- 130 g vergeoise (or light brown sugar)
- 90 g granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 245 g all-purpose flour
- 3 g baking soda
- 180 g dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
- a pinch of fleur de sel for finishing
Mascarpone cream (tiramisu style)
- 400 g mascarpone
- 3 eggs, separated
- 90 g sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
For assembly
- 6–8 baked cookies
- 20 cl milk mixed with 1 espresso (for dipping)
- 4–5 tbsp chocolate spread or alternative
How to bake the cookies and make the mascarpone cream
Baking the cookies
- Mix the melted butter with both sugars until smooth.
- Beat in the egg, then fold in flour and baking soda.
- Stir in chopped chocolate, shaping the dough into balls of 50 g each.
- Chill the dough balls for several hours to firm up the texture.
- Place on a lined baking tray and bake at 175 °C for about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle a little fleur de sel over warm cookies and cool completely.
Preparing the mascarpone cream
- Whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
- Fold in mascarpone and vanilla seeds until blended and smooth.
- Beat the egg whites to soft peaks and gently fold them into the mascarpone mix.
- Handle the whites carefully to keep the cream light and airy.
Layering and finishing your Tiramicookies
- Quickly dip each cookie into the milk and espresso mix—do not soak them.
- In a serving dish, alternate layers: cookie, mascarpone cream, and a spoonful of chocolate spread.
- Repeat the layering to reach the desired height.
- Top with cookie crumbs and a drizzle of chocolate spread for texture.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so flavors meld.
Variations, storage advice, and pro tips to improve results
- Swap chocolate spread for jam or fresh fruit for a lighter finish.
- Add a splash of coffee liqueur to the dipping mix for adult flavor.
- To keep layers distinct, cool cookies completely before assembly.
- Store covered in the fridge for up to 2 days; textures soften over time.
- If you prefer firmer layers, reduce the milk in the dip or use fewer dips per cookie.
