Tiramisu Sandwich Cookies #CreativeCookieExchange

This month the Creative Cookie Exchange is sharing cookie recipes with cheese!   That’s right, cheese!   When I first heard the theme I was a little surprised.   I also had absolutely no idea what I was going to make.  I mean, what kind of cheese goes in a cookie?

My first thought was cream cheese but I’ve actually made a few cookies with cream cheese so I wanted to do something a little more challenging.  After some thought I came to mascarpone cheese.   It’s often used in sweets so I thought it would be great with cookies.

Then I thought what dessert is most famous for using mascaprone?   Tiramisu of course!  I set out to make the best tiramisu cookies out there.   However, I couldn’t quite figure out how to put all the components into a cookie so instead I made it a sandwich cookie which is filled with delicious mascarpone cheese.

So the cookie is a basic sugar cookie made with a bit of cinnamon and rum.  I actually found tiramisu mascarpone cheese so I used that with powdered sugar.  It made it so easy to already have the delicious flavor in the cheese!

These cookies turned out pretty big and the sandwiches were huge.  They were really good though.  The cookies were buttery with a hint of cinnamon and the filling was sweet and tasted of creamy coffee.  It was a great combination of flavors and would be great served with a cup of coffee or a latte.
