Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup vegan butter softened
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2½ tbsp water flax egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup vegan dark chocolate chips

For the Coffee Hazelnut Filling:

  • ½ cup vegan cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp hazelnut butter
  • 1½ tbsp brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix flaxseed meal and water. Let it thicken into your classy vegan egg—about 5 minutes.
  • In one bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another, beat vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s smooth and flirty.
  • Stir in flax egg and vanilla. Whip it good.
  • Add dry ingredients slowly, forming a dreamy dough.
  • Fold in dark chocolate chips. Taste a few—you earned it.
  • Chill the dough for 10 minutes (your patience can handle it).
  • In a separate bowl, mix vegan cream cheese, hazelnut butter, espresso, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  • Scoop 1 tbsp of dough, flatten it, add ½ tsp of filling, then top with another scoop of dough.
  • Seal and shape into thick cookie domes.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12 minutes until golden and slightly puffy.
  • Cool for 10 minutes. Resist biting too early unless you like lava-mouth.
