Plant-Based Mocha Sandwich Cookies are the delicious combination of chocolate and espresso. Each cookie sandwich is filled with sweet creamy icing.
Two years ago, to celebrate my birthday, I made some delicious sandwich cookies. They were chocolate chip cookies with peanut butter filling (my favorite). And WOW were they a hit. Many of my non-vegan friends commented on how much they loved them and even requested the cookies on other occasions.
I decided that to celebrate my birthday this year, I would make another version of the tasty sandwich cookies. This time, using one of my other favorite flavors: mocha.
I've been loving a chocolate frosting recipe recently using sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes create such a creamy texture. The frosting is soo sweet, and thick, and delicious. You'd never guess it has sweet potatoes. So it's perfect for these sandwich cookies. They are SO tasty and made with whole food, plant-based ingredients. YUM.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2. In a large bowl, mix the applesauce, almond butter, date sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Add the flaxseeds, oat flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined.
Step 3. Scoop into tablespoon-sized balls and line on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten – the cookies won’t spread during baking. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the cookies are slightly brown around the edges. Let the cookies cool completely.
Step 4. While the cookies cool, make the chocolate filling. Add the sweet potato, cocoa powder, date syrup, espresso powder, and vanilla extract to a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding the non-dairy milk if the mixture is very thick.
Step 5. When the cookies are completely cool, pipe or spread the chocolate filling on the bottom of a cookie. Press a second cookie on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies. If the frosting starts to get too soft, place the cookie sandwiches in the freezer while piping. Serve and enjoy!
Thank you God for celebrations. We enjoy treating ourselves to your creation. Amen.
