Coffee Bean Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan)
Coffee and chocolate—need I say more? A cookie that is full of coffee and chocolate, crispy yet chewy, and easy to prepare. Its dairy-free, egg-free, and full of caffeine—no cup of coffee is required.
You do not need that afternoon cup of coffee with this cookie around. If caffeine packaged in a sweet treat is what you are looking for, then you can stop looking. These cookies are crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and more than full of bold coffee flavor. Then I threw some chocolate chips in for fun. This powerhouse of a cookie is super easy to bring together and super delicious to eat.
What you will need:
To properly prepare these cookies, two forms of coffee are needed – espresso powder and ground coffee beans. Aside from that only basic cookie ingredients are needed.
- all purpose flour
- baking soda
- baking powder
- cane sugar
- coconut sugar
- vanilla extract
- plant based butter with salt
- plant based yogurt
- espresso powder
- coffee beans
How to:
These cookies are super simple to prepare. Begin by grinding up the coffee beans and setting them aside. Melt the butter and set it aside. In a small bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and espresso powder. Whisk to combine and set it aside. In a medium bowl, add the melted butter, both sugars, the vanilla extract, and the plant-based yogurt. With a hand mixer on medium speed, blend the wet ingredients until fully incorporated; this should take about a minute. To the wet ingredients, add the dry ingredients and blend on medium speed until almost all of the flour is absorbed. Next, add the chocolate chips and the ground coffee and blend on medium speed just until the chips and coffee are fully incorporated.
Place the cookie dough in the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 350F, and prepare two cookie sheets by lining them with parchment paper. Once the oven reaches temperature, remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator and scoop the cookie balls with a 3-tablespoon scoop, placing them on the prepared pan as you scoop them. If you choose, a few chocolate chips and a couple of coffee beans can be placed on the tops of all the cookies for a final look. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes; once out of the oven, let them rest on the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Store the cookies in an airtight container; they should stay fresh for up to 5 days.
So, let’s get started. Please make, bake and enjoy!
