These cookies aren’t just dessert—they’re survival fuel. Bold coffee meets rich dark chocolate, creating a cookie so dangerously addictive, you’ll need supervision. Crispy edges, chewy centers, and a caffeine kick? Yes, please. They’re basically a legal way to eat espresso for breakfast. Dunk them in your coffee for peak energy levels, or devour them straight from the tray. Either way, self-control is optional. If you love deep, bittersweet flavors and don’t shy away from caffeine, congratulations—you’ve found your new favorite cookie. Let’s bake some trouble.
