So here we are—making chocolate chip cookies stuffed with vegan coffee cream cheese, because regular cookies clearly lack ambition. These aren’t your childhood snack; they’ve matured, like your taste in TV and men. Soft, gooey cookies wrapped around a creamy espresso-kissed filling? Yes, please. They’re indulgent, bold, and unapologetically extra—just like your last Amazon order. Ideal for brunch flexes, Monday tantrums, or literally any time you need a pick-me-up in cookie form. Think latte meets dessert in a scandalous cookie affair. One bite and you’ll wonder why coffee doesn’t come in cookie form more often.

Ingredients
For the Cookies:

- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup cane sugar
- 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2½ tbsp water flax egg

- ½ cup vegan cream cheese
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 1½ cups powdered sugar

- In one bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking soda.
- In another bowl, beat vegan butter, brown sugar, and cane sugar until fluffy.
- Add flax egg, espresso powder, and vanilla. Mix until everything looks like a life decision you won’t regret.
- Fold in dry ingredients, followed by the chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough into balls, then chill them for 20 minutes (cookies need spa time too).
- While chilling, whip up the cream cheese filling. Beat all ingredients until smooth and fabulous.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Take half the cookie dough balls, flatten slightly, add a dollop of cream cheese mix.
