Ingredients
  

Cookies:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup vegan butter softened
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water flax egg
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mocha Cream Glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp brewed espresso
  • 1 tbsp plant-based milk almond, oat, etc.
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • Pinch of cinnamon optional, but your taste buds will thank you

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking tray. Channel your inner barista-meets-baker.
  • Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Pretend you didn’t spill flour on yourself.
  • In another bowl, beat vegan butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add flax egg, vanilla, and espresso. Mix until smooth.
  • Gradually combine dry and wet ingredients. Stir with grace—or mild aggression.
  • Scoop dough into balls, place on tray, and slightly flatten. Keep spacing like you do with people.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool on rack, and don’t poke them every 30 seconds.
  • Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Spoon gently over cooled cookies in swirly, dramatic fashion.
  • Let glaze set, or eat while dripping like you’ve completely lost control.
  • Serve with coffee. Or wine. We don’t judge.

💁‍♀️ Notes & Tips

  • Add a dash of cayenne for a spicy mocha moment. Confidence in cookie form.
  • Use decaf espresso for nighttime snacking that won’t fuel existential thoughts at 3 AM.
  • Want thicker glaze? Add more sugar. Want drama? Add glitter (edible, obviously).
  • Store in an airtight container—but we both know they won’t last.
  • Serve with iced coffee and chaos.
