Let’s get one thing straight: peanut butter deserves better than jelly, and coffee cream is its new, caffeinated soulmate.
These cookies marry smooth, nutty goodness with bold espresso magic—like a snack-sized power couple that doesn’t argue about who left the dishwasher open.
Soft, chewy, and filled with rich plant-based cream, they’re the kind of vegan treat that makes oat milk look like a gateway drug.
No dairy, no eggs, just unapologetic decadence with a side of sass.
Bake these on a Monday, and suddenly Tuesday doesn’t feel like such a personal attack.
