These aren’t just cookies, darling—they’re a caffeinated hug disguised as dessert. Imagine your favorite chocolate chip cookies got all dressed up. Then they met a creamy mocha center that whispered, “I’m bold, rich, and way more exciting than your last situationship.” These cookies show up with coffee flavor, a gooey center, and zero dairy drama. Soft edges, a decadent middle, and just enough sass to pair perfectly with that second cup of oat milk latte. Vegan? Absolutely. Basic? Never. Bake these, serve them warm, and watch everyone suddenly become emotionally available—for snacks, at least.
