I’m a night owl, which is, by my calculations, the exact opposite of a morning person.

I’m the kind of person who’d rather burn the midnight oil than wake up with the chickens. I can sometimes be hard on myself though, and do both.

And boy, do I pay for it! And so does everyone around me. Let’s just say it’s unpleasant!

To survive, I rely on coffee.

(I know, we covered this the other day, but I just really like coffee. Is that a crime?) 

In the event that you need a little crunch with your caffeine, try these Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies.

They’ve quickly become one of my favorite cookies. All you fellow night owls can thank me later.

Notes

Feel free to substitute milk chocolate chips for a lighter cookie, or up the ante on the instant espresso powder for a little more punch. (A couple tablespoons more should do it!)
