Tiramisu Sandwich Cookies

For the cookies:
In a small saucepan, combine chocolates and butter. Heat over low heat until both have melted. Stir until smooth then remove from heat and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and espresso powder. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat together eggs, sugar and vanilla until mixture begins to thicken. Stir in cooled chocolate mixture followed by flour mixture. Beat until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Let batter stand for 10 minutes in order to thicken up.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Drop dough by the tablespoon full onto a parchment paper- or Silpat-lined baking sheet, keeping each cookie about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 8 minutes or until edges are set and cookies are slightly cracked. Remove pan from oven and set it on a rack. Let cookies cool for 1 minute before removing them from the pan to a cooling rack.

For the filling:
In a medium sized bowl beat together mascarpone and cream cheese. Add in powdered sugar, vanilla and liqueur and mix until combined.

Spread a healthy tablespoon of filling on the flat side of one cookie then top with another cookie. Repeat until you’ve used all of the cookies.

Makes 12 sandwich cookies. Store assembled cookies in an airtight container.
