Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your sheet with parchment—no sticking, no drama.
In one bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a toss like your last relationship.
In another bowl, cream vegan butter and brown sugar until it looks like your skin post-serum.
Stir in espresso, vanilla, and almond milk. It should smell like a coffee shop in cookie form.
Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until the dough comes together like brunch plans that actually happen.
Roll dough into small balls. Flatten slightly and space them on your tray like polite coworkers.
Bake for 10 minutes. Let them cool completely because hot cookies + filling = chaos.
Beat mocha filling ingredients until it’s smooth, fluffy, and dangerously addictive.
Spread or pipe a dollop between two cookies and gently press. Voilà—cookie perfection with caffeine.
