Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined and creamy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and crumbled bacon pieces until evenly distributed.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use thick-cut bacon for a more pronounced flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor. Ensure the bacon is fully cooked and crispy before adding to the dough.
