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!

    I don’t eat bacon, but maybe I will try this recipe with a vegetarian bacon substitute. It just might work…

    Thanks for sharing!

    Okay, I don’t eat bacon (unless it’s turkey bacon) but I had to pin this for my brother and boyfriend. They both think bacon goes with anything. What a unique recipe!

    It’s such a genius combination. Seriously! My uncle has been making these for a while and we all love them. Have you had bacon fudge? That’s pretty good too!

    I’m not a huge bacon fan but my husband is. And he adores chocolate chip cookies so I think he would love to try these!
