College kids rely on Insomnia Cookies for chocolate chunk or oatmeal raisin. What happened to the work ethic? What’s wrong with melting butter and beating eggs? It takes 10 minutes to mix batter, and those are minutes well spent.
Kids counter that they don’t stash eggs and flour in their dorm rooms. Campus life offers no mixer, no oven, no time. Plus, cookie shops deliver. Which, come to think of it, counts as genius.
Fine, order cookies. Buy yourself a sweet respite from studying (or whatever it is students do late at night). I’ll be at home mixing homemade from butter, sugar, eggs, and—whenever possible—chocolate.
I sent a batch of mint-topped daredevils to friends on vacation. They opened the package at 9 p.m., downed the contents by 9:04, and spent the rest of the night staring at the cabin walls, waiting for the chocolate shock to dull.
No mere procrastination ploy, these chocolate-powered pucks actually induce insomnia. Take that, college kids.
Great! Can’t wait to try! Thank you!
