Let’s get real: some days need more than mascara and manifesting. These mocha cream-glazed cookies deliver sugar therapy and espresso attitude.
Soft, chewy, and kissed with a creamy glaze that screams “I’m extra,” they pair beautifully with coffee—or mild emotional breakdowns.
They’re fully vegan, because compassion tastes better when it’s frosted. And yes, they’re guilt-free… until you eat seven without blinking.
Baking them? Therapy. Eating them? Self-care. Sharing them? Who hurt you?
These little beauties look like bakery art, but don’t worry—no piping skills or culinary degree required. Just sass and caffeine.
Mocha Cream-Glazed Cookies
Rich mocha-infused cookies with a silky espresso glaze. They’re soft, stylish, and ready to crash your afternoon slump—deliciously.
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup vegan butter softened
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water flax egg
- 1 tbsp instant espresso dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mocha Cream Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp brewed espresso
- 1 tbsp plant-based milk almond, oat, etc.
- ½ tsp vanilla
- Pinch of cinnamon optional, but your taste buds will thank you
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking tray. Channel your inner barista-meets-baker.
- Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Pretend you didn’t spill flour on yourself.
- In another bowl, beat vegan butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add flax egg, vanilla, and espresso. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually combine dry and wet ingredients. Stir with grace—or mild aggression.
- Scoop dough into balls, place on tray, and slightly flatten. Keep spacing like you do with people.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool on rack, and don’t poke them every 30 seconds.
- Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Spoon gently over cooled cookies in swirly, dramatic fashion.
- Let glaze set, or eat while dripping like you’ve completely lost control.
- Serve with coffee. Or wine. We don’t judge.
