Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup vegan butter softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 tbsp brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 tbsp almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Mocha Cream Filling:

  • ½ cup vegan butter
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp instant coffee granules
  • 1 tbsp almond milk
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a tray with parchment. Breathe. You’ve got this.
  • In one bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt like you mean it.
  • In another bowl, beat vegan butter and both sugars until creamy. You’ll feel fancy.
  • Add vanilla, brewed coffee, and almond milk. Stir like your life depends on it.
  • Slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet until a dough forms and you want to eat it raw.
  • Scoop dough into 20 small balls and flatten them slightly. Bake for 12 minutes.
  • Let cookies cool fully. Like, completely. Don’t jump the gun.
  • For the filling, beat vegan butter, powdered sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, almond milk, and salt until fluffy and glossy.
  • Pipe or spread mocha cream onto half the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies. Admire.
  • Serve with a dramatic eye roll and coffee.

💡 Tips to Enhance the Flavor

  • Use high-quality espresso powder—this is not the time for basic beans.
  • Chill your mocha filling for 10 minutes to help it firm up beautifully.
  • Add a dash of cinnamon for a spicy little twist (like your last situationship).
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top for that bougie bakery vibe.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge—good luck having any.
