Coffee and Almond Cream Cookies
Crisp vegan coffee cookies meet dreamy almond cream filling, giving you a decadent, caffeinated treat that screams main character energy.
Ingredients
- For the Cookies:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup vegan butter room temp
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp instant coffee or strong espresso
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- For the Almond Cream Filling:
- 3 tbsp vegan butter
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 1 tbsp plant milk adjust as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a tray with parchment so your cookies don’t pull a disappearing act.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl. Easy and drama-free.
- In another bowl, beat vegan butter and sugar until fluffy—like your favorite throw pillow.
- Stir in coffee, vanilla, and almond milk. The smell alone might make you weep.
- Combine dry ingredients with wet and stir until you get a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Roll dough into small balls, flatten gently, and space them like your boundaries—with purpose.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Let them cool unless you enjoy molten cookie burns.
- For the filling, mix butter, almond butter, sugar, extract, and milk until silky and smug.
- Pipe or spoon onto one cookie, sandwich with another, and press gently.
- Chill slightly or eat immediately with zero shame.
