Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:

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

For the Coffee Cream Cheese Filling:

  • ½ cup vegan cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 tsp espresso powder
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Mix flaxseed and water, then let it thicken—because we all need time to pull ourselves together.
  • In one bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • In another bowl, beat vegan butter, brown sugar, and cane sugar until fluffy.
  • Add flax egg, espresso powder, and vanilla. Mix until everything looks like a life decision you won’t regret.
  • Fold in dry ingredients, followed by the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop dough into balls, then chill them for 20 minutes (cookies need spa time too).
  • While chilling, whip up the cream cheese filling. Beat all ingredients until smooth and fabulous.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Take half the cookie dough balls, flatten slightly, add a dollop of cream cheese mix.
  • Top with another dough ball and pinch edges to seal the cookie sandwich like a delicious secret.
  • Bake for 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly underbaked—trust the process.
  • Cool completely before biting or risk a molten filling explosion.
