Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Recipe makes 5 dozen cookies.

Ingredients:

• 6 slices bacon {thick cut works best}
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, divided
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

• Arrange bacon slices side by side on a baking sheet.  I recommend lining it with foil first!
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup of brown sugar over the bacon.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until crispy, turning after 10 minutes of baking.
• Remove crispy bacon and allow to cool.
• Once cooled, chop finely.
• In a small bowl sift flour and baking soda.
• In a medium bowl {or stand mixer} cream butter and remaining sugars.
• Mix in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk and beat until light and creamy.
• Slowly mix in flour mixture.
• Fold in chopped bacon and chocolate chips.
• Spoon small balls of dough onto a baking sheet.
• Bake at 325 degrees F for 10-15 minutes, until edges begin to brown.
• Remove from the oven and let cool on pan for 5 minutes before moving to wire rack to completely cool.
