Look, if your snack doesn’t come with espresso energy and a creamy center, is it even worth the crumbs in your bra? These chocolate chip cookies bring major drama—moody dark chips, bold coffee flavor, and a hazelnut cream center that tastes like luxury and rebellion. It’s basically a fancy latte in cookie form, minus the pretentious barista. And yes, queen, they’re fully vegan, because indulgence doesn’t require compromise anymore. One bite and you’ll be blaming these for your “accidental” cookie breakfast. Again. But hey—protein, right?
