Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350º.
In bowl, combine first 4 ingredients.
In separate bowl, beat next 4 ingredients on medium-high speed for 5 minutes or until creamy.
Add egg & extracts and beat well.
Reduce mixer speed to lowest setting. Pour about ⅓ of the flour into the batter; then another third; then the last third.
With a spatula, fold in last three ingredients.
Use the ice cream scoop to place cookie dough at least 2" apart from each other onto the sheets.
Bake 12-15 minutes, or until edges turn light golden brown.
Cool the cookies--leaving them on the baking sheets--for 5 minutes.
Place on the wire racks and let them dry completely.
Ice with coffee icing (also in this cookbook) if desired.
Store in an airtight container. Cookies will keep up to 5 days--if you can keep them from being eaten before then! :) |

Notes: CAFFEINE COUNT
Here are common caffeinated items, in order of lowest caffeine content to highest, in milligrams:
Coca-Cola can--39
Diet Coke can--46
Mountain Dew can--54
8-ounce cup of instant coffee--57
single-shot of espresso--63
8-ounce cup of brewed coffee--95
Starbucks double-shot--135
can of Monster--160
large (16-ounce) MacDonald's McCafe Coffee--180
5-Hour Energy Shot or can of Celsius or C4--200
large (16-ounce) Einstein's Coffee--206
can of Beyond Raw Lit--250
can of Bang--300
It’s also worth noting that drinking, say, 9 cans of Cokes is not the same as drinking 1 can of Bang. Of course, the amount of sugar in each can of Coke, added together, would be astronomical. However, an easily-missed difference is that drinking 300 MG of caffeine immediately is not the same as drinking it over, say, a course of 8 hours.
The more caffeine you consume in a short period of time, the greater the risk you will experience dangerous symptoms, including fast heart beat or a severe panic attack. High amounts of sugar combined with high amounts of caffeine can cause blood sugar spikes & crashes as well, complicating the symptoms you can experience.
It’s best to start out with a small amount of caffeine until you learn how it affects you, especially if you are trying a new form of caffeine, such as a new energy drink. Very little is said about the effects of caffeine in our culture, but it is a drug, which is worth remembering! Use caution before trusting your heart to energy drinks!
