Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know what your thinking. "Has she gone completely insane??" Well, it's highly likely possible. But I gotta tell you, these cookies are fantastic! Chocolate and bacon is a very under-appreciated combination. If your man likes bacon you've got to have him try these! Valentine's day gift, perhaps?

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 c. (1 & 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1/4 c. bacon fat
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 t. baking soda
1 t. vanilla
2 & 1/4 c. flour
1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. milk chocolate chips
8-10 oz. bacon (or more, if you like)

First you have to cook your bacon until it's crispy. (I cooked a 12 oz. package for breakfast this morning and stored the rest in a bag in the fridge.)
 SAVE YOUR BACON GREASE!!! Pour it into a glass container and allow to cool completely until it solidifies.
 Now it's time to start on the dough. Heat oven to 375 F. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, bacon fat, and sugars. Cream until fluffy.
 Add eggs and baking soda. Mix well.
 Mix in vanilla.
 Add flour.
 Mix until flour is mostly incorporated.
 Crumble your bacon. I did about 1/2 c. but like I said in the ingredient list, you can do as much as your little heart desires. (Haha, not your ACTUAL heart, cuz ... well, let's just say this isn't the most heart healthy recipe out there.)
 Stir in bacon and chocolate chips.

 Drop by rounded scoops onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
 Bake at 375 F for about 8 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the sheet.
 Then it's time to devour!
Sweet, salty, smokey, and divine. Gotta love crazy concoctions now and then. Enjoy!

    1. I actually stored them at room temperature, but I would recommend keeping them either in the fridge or freezer just to be safe! :)

  4. Hi there,

    I was wondering if it would be okay to use a picture of your Bacon Chocolate Chip cookies on a blog post I'm writing...It's just about 10 different types of Christmas cookies I'd like to make. I would credit your photo and put a link back to your blog. I'll check back on this post to see if you've replied, or you can e-mail me here: ameliorerlavieblog@gmail.com.

    Thanks!

  5. My cookies turned out just wonderful!! Thank you :] I did overcook a little bit of my bacon so when I poured the grease into the batter, there was a hint of burnt. I covered that up with about two tbs. of peanut butter and it turned out really well. Thanks again!!

  8. How do these work as a bar cookie?

    Replies
    1. I've never tried them as a bar cookie. I would guess that you'd want to press them into a greased 9x13" pan and bake for 15ish minutes? If you try it, let me know how they turn out! :)

  9. about how long would these be good for in a ziplock bag? i am wanting to make some to mail to my husband & his friends in afghanistan.

    1. That's a good question. I would think they'd be good at room temperature for a week or so. If you're mailing them, I might suggest freezing them and then sending them. I really can't be sure, but let me know if it works out! :)

  13. These turned out great! I did a couple things differently. I substituted M&M’s for the milk chocolate chips. Also, when I finished dropping the dough on to cookie sheet, I sprayed the back of a spoon and flattened each cookie so I would have the flatter cookes. They came out nice and chewy! Thank you!! ��
