Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp brewed coffee strong, like your opinions
  • 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 Cream Filling:

  • 1/4 cup vegan butter
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp plant-based milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment like the functional adult you sometimes are.
  • In a bowl, beat softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and ready for compliments.
  • Add brewed coffee and vanilla extract, then mix until you question why you don’t do this more often.
  • Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Keep mixing until the dough looks irresistible (you will taste-test).
  • Fold in chocolate chips like a responsible snack architect.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto the sheet, evenly spaced like your skincare products.
  • Bake for 12 minutes until golden around the edges, then let cool (yes, patience is hard).
  • For the filling, beat vegan butter, powdered sugar, plant milk, vanilla, and salt until fluffy enough to double as a pillow.
  • Match cookies by size. Spread or pipe filling onto the bottom of one, then press a second on top.
  • Devour, brag on Instagram, and hide the rest from your roommate.

💡 Additional Notes & Flavor Tips

  • Use espresso powder in the dough for a bolder buzz (or to feel fancy).
  • Chill the dough for 20 minutes for thicker cookies with less spread—yes, just like good jeans.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon to the cream if you're feeling wild.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container. Or don’t. Who are we kidding, they won’t last.
  • Dunk in oat milk or eat straight off the cooling rack—both are emotionally valid.
