These cookies don’t whisper sweet nothings—they scream, “You deserve this!” Loud, proud, and filled with attitude and cream. We’re talking chewy chocolate chip cookies laced with coffee and sandwiching a luscious, dreamy vanilla filling. They’re bold like your ex’s ego, soft like your favorite hoodie, and just the right amount of extra. This isn’t a snack—it’s a self-love power move with caffeine baked right in. Perfect for those 3 PM meltdowns or midnight fridge raids. Vegan? Yes. Basic? Absolutely not. Make them once, and suddenly you’re the friend who brings those cookies to brunch. You’ve been warned.
Coffee and Chocolate Chip Cookies with Cream Filling
Chewy coffee-kissed chocolate chip cookies paired with smooth vanilla cream—dessert that’s equal parts mood booster and ego inflator.
Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1/2 cup vegan butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp brewed coffee strong, like your opinions
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
For the Cream Filling:
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp plant-based milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment like the functional adult you sometimes are.
- In a bowl, beat softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and ready for compliments.
- Add brewed coffee and vanilla extract, then mix until you question why you don’t do this more often.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Keep mixing until the dough looks irresistible (you will taste-test).
- Fold in chocolate chips like a responsible snack architect.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto the sheet, evenly spaced like your skincare products.
- Bake for 12 minutes until golden around the edges, then let cool (yes, patience is hard).
- For the filling, beat vegan butter, powdered sugar, plant milk, vanilla, and salt until fluffy enough to double as a pillow.
- Match cookies by size. Spread or pipe filling onto the bottom of one, then press a second on top.
- Devour, brag on Instagram, and hide the rest from your roommate.

💡 Additional Notes & Flavor Tips
- Use espresso powder in the dough for a bolder buzz (or to feel fancy).
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes for thicker cookies with less spread—yes, just like good jeans.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the cream if you’re feeling wild.
- Store cookies in an airtight container. Or don’t. Who are we kidding, they won’t last.
- Dunk in oat milk or eat straight off the cooling rack—both are emotionally valid.
