🍪 Soft, buttery vegan cookies with a warm cinnamon-sugar coating and a hidden melted dark chocolate center.
🌱 Completely dairy-free and egg-free without compromising on rich, indulgent flavor.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 43 minutes
  • Yield: 9 cookies

Ingredients

vegan butter

brown sugar

white sugar

all-purpose flour

plant-based yogurt

dark chocolate bar

cinnamon

espresso powder (optional)

granulated sugar (for coating)

cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

1-Cream the butter and sugars: Beat vegan butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy, avoiding over-creaming.

2-Add the wet ingredients: Mix in plant-based yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth.

3-Fold in the dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt separately, then gently fold into wet mixture until no dry streaks remain.

4-Chill the dough: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to prevent spreading.

5-Prepare the chocolate and coating: Chop dark chocolate into 9 pieces; stir together sugar and cinnamon for the coating.

6-Portion and stuff: Divide chilled dough into 9 portions, flatten, place a chocolate piece in the center, seal, and roll into balls. Freeze for 10 minutes if sticky.

7-Coat and bake: Roll balls in cinnamon sugar, place on a parchment-lined sheet, bake at 350°F for 13 minutes until centers look slightly underdone.

8-Tap and cool: Tap tray on counter after baking, let cookies rest on the hot tray for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

Notes

🧊 Chilling the dough is essential since vegan butter melts faster than dairy butter — skipping this will cause the cookies to spread into flat puddles.
🍫 Use a dark chocolate bar rather than chocolate chips, which contain stabilizers that can prevent proper melting in the center.
🧈 For extra churro authenticity, brush the warm cookies with a little melted vegan butter before rolling them in the cinnamon sugar.
