Let’s be honest—these aren’t just cookies. They’re edible declarations of “I deserve better.” Chewy chocolate chip cookies hug a silky, espresso-spiked mousse that whispers “treat yourself” with every bite. This isn’t dessert—it’s therapy between two golden edges. Think of it as your emotionally stable, plant-based boyfriend: sweet, comforting, and just the right amount of extra. These sandwich cookies are fully loaded, caffeine-kissed, and built for high-maintenance cravings. Perfect for brunch, breakups, or pretending you “just had one.” You get creaminess, coffee boldness, and chocolate in one ridiculously satisfying bite. Honestly, self-love never tasted this delicious.
