Well this cookie is perfect for the guys on game day with your classic chocolate chip cookie combined with everyone's favorite...BACON!
Bacon and Chocolate Chip Cookie
2 and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 tsp baking soda1 tsp kosher salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 pieces of cooked bacon, chopped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat and set aside. In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl beat butter on medium speed till creamy. Add in sugars and vanilla and beat till fully incorporated, scraping sides and bottom as necessary. Add in eggs one at a time just til incorporated in mixture. Slowly add in flour mixture to wet mixture, scraping sides and bottom of bowl as needed. Toss in chocolate chips and bacon, mix by hand with a spatula until batter is even.
To make large cookies, roll into 1.5 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until cookies are golden brown. This yields 3 dozen cookies. For small cookies, drop by tablespoon-full onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes, this yields 5 dozen cookies. Cool cookies for 2 minutes on pan, then cool completely on metal rack.
I like my cookies on the larger size which gives a slightly crunchy outside, but gooey-chewy inside!
This recipe is an adaption of my favorite chocolate chip cookie, which has changed so much over time I can't tell you where it really started!
Happy Baking!
Bacon and chocolate chips? Scratching my head over whether I could get away with this one. :) They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteBacon and chocolate chip? This is a very strange combination... But I have to admit, they look delicious.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite chocolate bars has bacon in it -- that'd be a cool substitution for regular chocolate chips in this recipe (although I'm sure it's fab regardless!).
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with bacon and chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI will try these one day, I cant believe I havnt crossed paths with this cookie yet.
ReplyDeleteHow funny that I was just at Whole Foods and they had tasting for bacon covered chocolate. It was so yummy!
ReplyDeleteBacon is the blogging craze lately huh!!
ReplyDeleteSince these cookies have bacon in them, does that make them to complete to eat for breakfast? ;)
Bacon? You just made my day!
ReplyDeleteI was seriously just thinking about bacon chocolate chip cookies the other day. It nice to see them made and being enjoyed. What a great combination!!
ReplyDeleteBacon in cookies...yes I must declare it brilliant. I really must try this out. ;)
ReplyDeleteI made these a few months ago and people thought I was crazy! I knew I would have a lot n common with you after the butterbeer cupcakes ;) Everything is better with bacon!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I wish i could have taken some of these cookies to my superbowl party today, they would have been a huge hit.
ReplyDeleteThese sound amazing!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously--YUM.
Bacon in a cookie = genius! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, if these cookies weren't already decadent you had to go and add bacon, haha! They look incredible, and so delicious! I hope you had a great Superbowl Sunday. Thanks for sharing these mouthwatering cookies.
ReplyDeleteMy first taste of a bacon chocolate chip cookie was over Christmas and I wasn't impressed although I'm always willing to attempt a do over. Your cookies look much different than the ones I had and think these look incredible. Can't wait to try these. I've got all the ingredients on hand to make these.
ReplyDeleteA perfect mix of salty and sweet!! What a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing idea. I must try these.
ReplyDeleteNice combo! I love the idea of sweet and salty together.
ReplyDeleteI have made cupcakes with bacon, but have never made cookies with bacon, a first time for everything. I'll have to try these.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I bet the bacon gave these cookies a great salty flavor! I would like a couple dozen of these at the moment!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at bacon. I love the combo of salty and sweet, and while I've put bacon in cupcakes and ice cream, I've never put them in cookies for some reason. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I've never heard of such a thing. I'm married to a serious bacon lover. Thanks for the recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteHow good is bacon? To improve other food, they wrap it in bacon!
