Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:

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

For the Coffee-Vanilla Cream Filling:

  • ¼ cup vegan butter
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp espresso powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 –2 tbsp plant-based milk
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), line a baking sheet like a boss.
  • Mix flaxseed meal and water. Let it sit and thicken while you pretend to clean.
  • In a big bowl, cream vegan butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy enough to flirt.
  • Stir in vanilla, espresso powder, and the flax egg.
  • Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Combine with wet ingredients until a dough forms.
  • Fold in those glorious chocolate chips.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized dough onto baking sheet. Leave space—they will spread like gossip.
  • Bake for 11–12 minutes until golden around the edges and still soft in the middle.
  • Cool cookies completely or risk a cream meltdown.
  • For the filling, beat vegan butter, powdered sugar, espresso, vanilla, milk, and salt until light and spreadable.
  • Sandwich two cookies together with the cream. Smile smugly.
  • Serve immediately or chill them if you somehow have restraint.
