Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
There is one word that, truly, stops me in my tracks….BACON! I immediately think of crispy strips of heavenly goodness and an aroma in the house that is hard to beat. When my Sunday Supper family posted that today’s event is helping us get ready for Bacon Lover’s Day on August 20th, I simply had to participate with Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I have a couple of other bacon treats on Desserts Required. Peanut Butter Piggy Pie is one of my most popular pies, Chocolate Covered Bacon makes everyone swoon and the Bacon Gingersnap Cookies are, quite simply, addicting.
As you can probably guess by now, when I include bacon in a recipe, I include a lot of bacon. I cooked a 12 ounce package of bacon, thinking I might be able to eat a slice or two (or three or four). I quickly realized that I really wanted the bacon in the cookies, not just my belly so I crumpled it all up and added it to the dough.
I bake my bacon in the oven, choosing to avoid the greasy mess on the stove. Either method works. Similarly, I used dark chocolate chips but go with your favorite. After all, they will be your cookies!
If you are as much a bacon lover as I, you may want to make a double batch of Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies. This way, you won’t feel conflicted sharing them with others.
