Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tbsp brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

For the Coffee Mousse Filling:

  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut cream chilled
  • 1 tbsp espresso or very strong brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking tray like a responsible adult.
  • Beat vegan butter with both sugars until fluffy and fabulous.
  • Add espresso and vanilla extract, then stir until it smells like ambition and breakfast.
  • Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until dough forms.
  • Fold in chocolate chips like you're hiding your good snacks.
  • Scoop dough into balls and space them well—cookies need boundaries too.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack (yes, you have to wait).
  • For the mousse: whisk chilled coconut cream, espresso, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until light and airy.
  • Chill mousse for 10 minutes to firm it up just like your post-gym glow.
  • Match cookies by size. Spread mousse on one and sandwich it with another.
  • Store in fridge until ready to serve—or just inhale one immediately. No judgment.
