I had to do it. I added bacon to my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. Isn’t everything better with bacon, after all? I have to be honest with you and say that everyone in my family wasn’t won over by this Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. My mom wasn’t so much a fan of them. But my brother and the kids loved them. I’ll add my vote to the latter party.

A few weeks ago, I was listening to the Rachael Ray show while getting some work done at my desk. I believe the whole show was dedicated to bacon. My attention was peaked when I heard that bacon chocolate chip cookies were being given to the lucky audience members. It was such a revelation. Why hadn’t I thought to make these cookies before? Surely, chocolate chip cookies would only be better with the addition of bacon?

So, I gave it a go and here is the recipe. You can’t really see the bits of bacon in the cookies, but you can sure taste them. These cookies are a real treat!

    The idea of bacon in my cookies scares me, but at the same time, I am a bacon addict so it can’t be that bad, right!?

    Oh, I wish I would have seen this recipe last night when I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies for the family. Maybe I’ll give this recipe a try on them. Have you tried this recipe with just regular bacon? What about turkey bacon?

    I am going to make these for my husband. He eats the bacon icecream from BK all the time, so I know he will love these and probably way cheaper!

    I am not sure I would like them. I know my son and husband would love them! They would eat bacon at every meal if they could.
