| Cookies with Bacon |
This was a conversation I had with Molly a few weeks back and while chatting, I found a recipe for bacon cookies. Chocolate-chocolate chip with bacon! There were lots of different bacon cookie recipes believe it or not. This one had some of the best reviews so I figured it was worth a shot.
Conveniently, we had a work pot luck on Thursday and poker night on Friday which allowed me to make a batch, try one and then share the rest so I don't have to eat an entire batch myself.
As I made them Wednesday night, I was chatting on the phone with Matty so no tunes in the background.

| Cookies in the Oven |
6 slices of Bacon (I'd recommend more)
1 1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Butter
2 Eggs
2 Tsp Vanilla
2 Cups Flour
2/3 Cup Cocoa
3/4 Tsp Baking Soda
1/4 Tsp Salt
2 Cups Chocolate Chips
First step is to cook the bacon and then crumble.
Mix together the sugar, butter eggs and vanilla. Then add the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
Finally, stir in the bacon and chocolate chips.
Bake for 10 minutes at 350F.
I brought a batch to the work potluck where the cookies were well received, except most of the comments where similar to "Great cookie, but can't taste the bacon". So I might recommend adding more bacon next time if you want to bring out the salty bacon flavour. Otherwise, don't bother.
Another batch I brought to poker night on Friday night. These cookies didn't last 5 minutes. I didn't solicit any feedback, but the fact they sold out almost as fast as a Garth Brooks concert tells me they couldn't be that bad...
Does bacon make cookies better? Inconclusive. The cookies were delicious, but I am not sure how much better they were because of the bacon. I'll need further testing before fully committing.
