Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil and brown sugar, beating until light and fluffy for about 3 minutes. Next, incorporate the dairy-free yogurt, vanilla extract, and espresso powder, mixing until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
  3. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Once chilled, portion out the dough into balls and freeze for 10 minutes.
  4. Chop the chocolate squares and mix together sugar and cinnamon for coating. Set both aside.
  5. Flatten a chilled dough ball, place chocolate in the center, seal and shape into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
  6. Roll each stuffed ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, place on a lined tray, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 13 minutes.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
