Tiramisu Sandwich Cookies / Tiramisu piškoti

You CAN get through, 

whatever you're going through. 

New year, new morning, new day and a new dessert in the oven. Year 2014 was full of challenges. Unpleasant challenges. I didn't expect them and I didn't want them. But ... I'm still here. Life must sometimes shake, shock, disappoint and anger you, so you can learn something new and become stronger. Some sail in calm waters, while others struggle with storms. Because of these storms, we appreciate everything nice. You may remember that I posted this recipe for tiramisu sandwich cookies one year ago on Gita’s Blog. I asked her if I can also post it on my blog. They were so good that I wanted this recipe to be here too ... in my beloved little internet corner. With love, Neja

Novo leto, novo jutro, nov dan, nova sladica v pečici. Leto 2014 je bilo polno preizkušenj. Neprijetnih preizkušenj. Nisem jih pričakovala in nisem si jih želela. Ampak… še vedno sem tu. Življenje te mora pretresti, šokirati, razočarati in razjeziti, da se lahko naučiš nekaj novega in postaneš močnejši. Nekateri jadrajo v mirnih vodah, drugi se borimo z nevihtami. Zaradi teh neviht cenimo vse, kar je lepo. Morda se spomnite, da sem te tiramisu piškote objavila eno leto nazaj na Gitinem Blogu. Že takrat sem jo prosila, če jih lahko objavim še na svojem Blogu. Bili so tako dobri, da sem jih želela imeti tudi tukaj… na tem meni ljubem internetnem kotičku. Z ljubeznijo, Neja

The Recipe

Ingredients For the cookies: 140 g semi sweet chocolate, chopped 60 g unsweetened chocolate, chopped 28 g butter 31 g flour ¼ teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon espresso powder 2 eggs 133 g sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 130 g mini chocolate chips For the filling: 225 g mascarpone cheese, softened 55 g cream cheese, softened 30 g powdered sugar ½ teaspoon vanilla 2 tablespoons Kahlua Liqueur (I used rum) The process Cookies: In a small saucepan combine chocolate and butter. Heat over low heat until both have melted. Stir until smooth and set aside. In a small bowl, combine flour, then add 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 the oven to 375 (~190 degrees Celsius). Drop dough by tablespoon full about onto a lined baking sheet, keeping each cookie about 5 cm apart. Bake for 8 minutes or until the edges are set and cookies are slightly cracked. Let it cool for 1 minute before removing to a cooling rack. The filling: Beat together mascarpone and cream cheese. Add in powdered sugar, vanilla and liqueur (or rum). Spread a healthy tablespoon of filling on the flat side of one cookie, top with another cookie. Makes 12 sandwich cookies. Store assembled cookies in an airtight container.

Sestavine Za piškote: 140 g mlečne čokolade 60 g temne čokolade 28 g masla 31 g moke ¼ žličke pecilnega praška ¼ žličke soli ¼ žličke kave (espresso, lahko uporabite navadno kavo) 2 jajci 133 g kristalnega sladkorja 1 žlička vanilije 130 g čokoladnih solzic Za nadev: 225 g Mascarpone sira, zmehčanega 55 g kremnega sira Philadelphia, zmehčanega 30 g sladkorja v prahu ½ žličke vanilije 2 žlici Kahlua kavni liker (jaz sem namesto tega uporabila rum) Postopek Piškoti: V stekleno posodo nalomite čokolado na drobne koščke in dodajte maslo. Nad vodno paro počasi stopite čokolado z maslom. Nežno mešajte, medtem ko se čokolada in maslo topita. Odstavite. V majhni skledi zmešajte moko, pecilni prašek, sol in kavo. Z električnim mikserjem stepite jajci, kristalni sladkor in vanilijo. Dodajte stopljeno čokolado, nato dodajte mešanico z moko. Vse skupaj dobro stepite. Z lopatico vmešajte čokoladne solzice. Maso pustite počivati 10 minut, da se zgosti. Pečico segrejte na 190°C. na pekač položite peki papir. Z žlico zajemite maso in jo z drugo žlico postrgajte na peki papir, namesto žlic lahko uporabite klešče za sladoledne kepice. Med kupčki pustite 5cm prostora, saj se bodo piškoti razlezli (zato morda raje ne zajemite preveč mase, da ne bodo preveč krhki, saj se bodo potem prelomili). Pecite jih 8 minut (piškoti morajo razpokati). Pustite, da se ohladijo, preden jih prestavite in napolnite z nadevom. Nadev: Z električnim mikserjem stepite mascarpone in Philadelphia sir. Dodajte  sladkor v prahu, vanilijo in Kahlua kavni liker (ali rum). Nadev namažite na notranjo stran piškota in nanj položite še en piškot.
