This is the 3rd time I’m making these buns and instead of a tz plain dough, I used potato in this batch. I realize after these came out from the oven that the soft cookie topping still needs more espresso in it, and I’ve to pipe more too! Good thing they’re super tasty even with mistakes.
14 May 2021: I found a link within TFL with a similar bun from 2014 that's worth a try: https://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/39728/mexican-buns-aka-coffee-cookie-buns-aka-rotiboy-buns

Thank you! I used a Bath buns recipe (like a brioche) with this instead of a white bun recipe and the filling was cinnamon, butter, sugar with a hint of coffee.
The cookie topping recipe:
1 1/2 tbsp espresso powder dissolved 1 tbsp hot water
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder / cocoa powder
70g unsalted butter, softened
50g caster sugar
80g all purpose flour
5g cornstarch
That should help you wake up in the morning and taste delicious. It looks like it has a nice crunchy top, yumm.
