Your morning cup of joe just got a whole lot sweeter.
Insomnia Cookies has quietly unveiled three new caffeinated cookie flavors in a bid to tempt late-night dessert fans into swapping their usual take-out coffee run for a sugary sweet treat instead.
However, the new lineup of cookies isn’t just your run-of-the-mill chocolate chip nosh with a touch of espresso powder — they go beyond anything Insomnia has ever baked up before.
“Designed for night owls and anyone craving a sweet boost, these cookies deliver unexpected flavors with just the right amount of caffeine to keep things moving,” Insomnia Cookies said in a press release, The Food Network reported.
So what flavors do the three new caffeine-infused cookies come in?
Wildberry Ube Classic
Combining two delicious flavors into a dessert lover’s dream, Insomnia baked up a jam-filled cookie packed with 10 milligrams of caffeine. For comparison, a 6 oz. cup of coffee can contain about 95 to 200 milligrams of the attention-booster.
The new cookie is filled with wildberry jam and mixed with the sweet, starchy taste of ube, guaranteed to satisfy the cravings of any late-night owls.
Cherry Limeade Classic
For the soda lovers out there, Insomnia brought out a Cherry Limeade Classic cookie.
The cherry-flavored cookie is filled with lime and dusted with sweet and sour sugar, complete with 8 milligrams of caffeine.
Coffee N Cream Chunk Classic
Doubling down on the java theme, the Coffee N Cream Chunk Classic cookie comes infused with 10 milligrams of caffeine.
The coffee-flavored dough is decadently filled with chocolate cream sandwich cookie pieces and chunks of milk chocolate, guaranteed to be a coffee-lover’s dream.
How much caffeine is actually in the cookies?
Cookie lovers sensitive to coffee shouldn’t fret, as Insomnia’s new treats only contain a small amount of caffeine.
By comparison, a cup of joe can contain between 90 and 200 milligrams of caffeine — so each cookie has the equivalent of less than 1 ounce of coffee, half a can of AriZona Iced Tea, or a quarter of a can of Dr. Pepper.
Of course, who ever eats just one cookie? If you wolf down several, you could get that stay-up-all-night or early-morning boost you need.
The three new caffeinated cookies are now available at Insomnia stores nationwide for a limited amount of time, according to The Food Network.
