Tiramisu lovers will go love these dessert inspired Tiramisu Sandwich Cookies. Espresso mascarpone cookies filled with mascarpone filling.

Tiramisu Sandwich Cookies

It is the ultimate sugar holiday coming up.

And as a love of all things sugar, I’m highlighting…sugar! 

Domino Sugar to be exact.

While looking through their website last week I noticed Elegant Tiramisu Cookies.

Otherwise known as, cookies that had mascarpone cheese in them.

We all know how that I have an unnatural love for mascarpone cheese, so I was all over these!

And they did not disappoint.

I really love just the cookies themselves and don’t think that you have to go the extra mile if you don’t want and make them into sandwiches.

But of course, if you do, whenever you are adding more mascarpone cheese to anything, you are by definition making it better. 😉

There was a chocolate layer that I skipped.

Clearly there is something wrong with me…oh yeah, I’m lazy.

So, I went with just sprinkling powdered sugar and cocoa powder on the filling instead.

Tiramisu Sandwich Cookies

I am seriously considering making these be my cookies for holiday cookie exchange this year.

So yummy, and quite unique.

If you are not a tiramisu lover, there are several holiday cookie recipes (as well as a ton of recipes in general) over on the Domino site.

If they are all as good as these cookies were then I may be making everything off of that site!

Hope everyone had a nice American Thanksgiving.

I promise I will be around more in the coming weeks.

***Update*** This post is from 2009.

Sadly the recipe for the cookies is no longer on the Domino site.

Which makes me extra happy that I made them and have the recipe here to refer back to.

Not sure why they would ever take a cookie as good as these off but they did. 🙁

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

  8. I love tiramisu so I am sure that these cookies will be great. Thanks for suggesting the Domino site. I am another one who forgets that there are great recipes to be found on a manufacturer’s website.

  21. $20. That’s a lot of powdered sugar! Of course it *does* tend to disappear this time of year.

    Not sure I could leave out the chocolate, but the cookies are still cute as buttons!

  47. These look delicious! I’m thinking of making these for my family’s cookie baking “contest,” but they would be made the day before they would be eaten. I was wondering if these stored well? Does refrigerating make them soggy?

  49. I love Tiramisu so I decided to try this recipe to include them in my Christmas cookie boxes and they were just the greatest cookie ever! Everyone loved them! For the person wanting to know if they store well the answer is yes. I stored some 3 days and they taste even better and the cookie doesn’t get soggy just refrigerate. They are just amazing!! Four stars!

    • Yes! A reply from someone that actually made the cookies. Not just stating they look good but that they actually are good for those considering making them.
