Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, but recommended)

For the Coffee Yogurt Filling:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir the mixture well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

      Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully incorporated.

        Combine the Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. If desired, gently fold in the chocolate chips for an added touch of sweetness and texture.

          Shape the Cookies: Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of cookie dough and roll them into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place these on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each one as they will spread while baking.

            Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Prepare the Coffee Yogurt Filling: While the cookies cool, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), cooled brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness based on your preference.

                Assemble the Cookie Coins: After the cookies have cooled completely, take one cookie and spread a generous tablespoon of the coffee yogurt filling on its flat side. Top with another cookie, gently pressing down to create a sandwich.

                  Freeze the Cookie Coins: Arrange the assembled cookie coins on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze them for at least 1-2 hours, or until the yogurt filling is firm to the touch.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Treat yourself to these refreshing Frozen Yogurt Coffee Cookie Coins on a warm day, or enjoy them as a delightful afternoon snack!
