Is your morning coffee time your “me time”?  This is the case for pretty much everyone in my life, as we all have hectic routines in the morning.  I have two jobs which both allow me to work from home so I have no specific time I have to be up and at ’em, per say (I know, I know – you all are hating on me right now).  I do, however, like to try to rise and shine at a decent time so I make sure to be as productive as possible that day.  I wake up, read the morning paper (just kidding – I browse Facebook and other social media), make my plan for the day on what I need/want to get done, and occasionally eat these Coffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies for breakfast.  I really don’t eat cookies for breakfast on a regular basis, but I see nothing wrong with it once in a while!  Also, since they have coffee in them, they are perfectly acceptable in the morning.

The steps in making chocolate chip cookies with coffee.

I was late to jump on the coffee train, but I have learned to appreciate it a little more as I get older.  I have found that my favorite way to enjoy it is in baked goods.  Yes, that’s right – sometimes I like to eat my coffee!  I found the new McCafé coffee while shopping at Walmart.  Coffee lovers are going to love it and this is what I ended up using as an ingredient in this cookie recipe.  I bought the boxes of McCafé pods (FYI, if you don’t have a pod type brewer, McCafé is also available in premium bags and that will work in this recipe, as well). There are 8 flavors available so you can feel free to mix it up a little!

 A couple little fun facts about McCafé:

  • It is made with 100% Arabica Beans (i.e. premium quality coffee).
  • It is harvested from the rich soils and mountainous regions of the foremost coffee-growing areas of the world.

I enjoyed these Coffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies with, you guessed it, a cup of coffee.  Let’s face it – nothing goes better with coffee than more coffee, am I right?  These bad boys go great with a mug of McCafé.  I hope you give them a try and enjoy the unique, yet subtle flavor that the brewed coffee gives these cookies.

So, enough about me.  I would love to know what your morning routine is like.  Do share (because I’m nosy)!
