These tiramisu crinkle cookies capture the essence of the classic dessert in a soft, fudgy cookie with a crackly sugar coating. Easy to make and perfect for cozy gatherings, they blend espresso, cocoa, and cream cheese for a rich, comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ⅓ cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar, for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the dough is glossy and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out about 1 ½ tablespoons (22 grams) of dough each. Roll each portion into a ball and then roll generously in powdered sugar to coat completely.
  7. Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges look set but centers are still soft. Watch closely to avoid overbaking.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, ideally with a cup of espresso or coffee.

Notes

If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough for 15 minutes before rolling to prevent spreading. Use softened but not melted cream cheese for best texture. Roll dough balls generously in powdered sugar for the signature crackle effect. Watch baking time closely to keep centers soft and fudgy.
