Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup vegan butter
  • cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp non-dairy milk

For the Espresso Cream Topping:

  • ½ cup vegan butter
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp brewed espresso
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your tray and pretend you're in a baking show.
  • Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside like a responsible adult.
  • Beat vegan butter and sugar until creamy. Add vanilla and milk, mix until smooth like your favorite playlist.
  • Add dry mix to wet mix. Stir until it looks like something you'd secretly eat raw.
  • Scoop tablespoons of dough onto tray. Flatten slightly with your fingers or something less sticky.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool completely or deal with melty regret.
  • For the topping, whip vegan butter with sugar, espresso, vanilla, and salt until it fluffs like drama on reality TV.
  • Pipe or spoon cream on top of each cooled cookie. Make them look as extra as you feel.
  • Chill to set or eat instantly because patience is overrated.
  • Garnish with a cocoa dusting or edible glitter, because you’re worth it.
