As if my Bacon Banana Bread wasn’t totally amazing, today’s Bacon & Chocolate Chip Cookies will knock your socks off. There is just something magical that happens when you crispy & salty bacon with the chewy sweet cookie. I can’t even describe it, but I can say it is delectable!

I made these with my favorite chocolate chip cookie the first time, but I have made them with store bought cookie dough and it worked perfectly too. So if you need a creative and quick cookie give these a try with your favorite cookie dough (use this recipe, store bought dough, or use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe).

Hubbyman went away for our 16th wedding anniversary a couple months and spent a wonderful weekend together. Unfortunately, we ended up having to hang out in our room most of the time because I wasn’t feeling well. {I know…totally sucky, right?!?!?}  Well, we talked a lot, read a lot, and watched a marathon of the Travel Channel’s Food Paradise show. I was completely inspired by a lot of the delicious food on the show.

One of the shows we watched was an hour all about bacon. YES, an hour all about bacon. Did you know that there is a bar back East that serves bacon instead of bar nuts during happy hour. I so want to go there some day. But for now, I’m sticking with cookies for my secret late night snack!

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yield: 18
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Next time you make a big batch of chocolate chip cookies...add some crispy bacon to the mix. These Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies will blow your mind.

Ingredients

  • 10 tbsp butter (1/2 cup + 2 tbs), softened*
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg (or egg substitute equivalent)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup flour (or All Purpose GF flour + 1/2 tsp xantham gum)
  • 3/4 cup almond meal
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In the bowl of a mixer, combine butter and sugars until light and creamed well.
  3. Add remaining ingredients, expect chocolate chips and bacon. Mix until well combined. Dough will be thick. Add chocolates and 3/4 of the bacon and incorporate by hand.
  4. Prepare a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper.
  5. Drop dough by 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls (or use a #40 cookie scoop) onto prepared pan leaving 2 inch spaces between cookies. Top each cookie with a small amount of crumbled bacon.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cookies are just starting to set.

Notes

  1. For dairy-free version, use soy-based butter alternative
  2. This also works well if you just want to dress up store bought cookie dough (gluten free or traditional).
