These cookies? Oh, they don’t just walk into a room—they saunter in like they own the oven. Think rich dark chocolate, bold espresso flavor, and a coffee cream center that whispers “You deserve better… snacks.” They’re soft, slightly dramatic, and unapologetically vegan—just like you when someone touches your fries. Each bite balances sweetness and bitterness like your last situationship. And the creamy filling? It hits harder than your morning brew and sticks around longer than your ex. Basically, they’re your new emotional support dessert—now stuffed with attitude and a caffeine kick.
