Vegan? Yes. Deprived? Never. These aren’t just cookies; they’re sweet little mood stabilizers sandwiched between sass and survival. Bake them for your girls, or eat six alone in your bathrobe. Either way, they’re filled with energy, decadence, and the kind of joy your ex could never provide. Let’s get into it, queen.
Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies with Coffee Cream Filling
Chewy mocha cookies packed with melty chocolate chips and filled with creamy coffee frosting—because life’s too short for dry desserts or decaf.
Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1/2 cup vegan butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp instant coffee or espresso powder
- 1 tbsp hot water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp strong brewed coffee cooled
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheet with parchment—like the organized chaos goddess you are.
- Dissolve espresso powder in hot water. In a large bowl, beat softened butter with sugars until fluffy and semi-responsible.
- Mix in coffee solution and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until combined and emotionally stable.
- Fold in chocolate chips gently, like tucking yourself into bed with zero responsibilities.
- Scoop dough into small balls, place on baking sheet, and bake for 12 minutes. Cool completely unless you enjoy molten chaos.

💡 Tips & Notes
- Chill the dough for 15 minutes if you want thicker cookies that don’t spread like gossip.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the filling for extra warmth and spice—because you’re that girl.
- Use a cookie scoop for even size (because symmetry matters when stacking two delicious lives together).
- Store them in the fridge if you want firm frosting or leave out if you like that soft-life aesthetic.
- Best enjoyed alone, with wine, or dramatically during an apology text you never send.
