Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Haggis and The Herring

Prepared In Miz Helen's Kitchen

1/2 cup rendered bacon fat

1/2 cup butter

1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed

2 eggs

2 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups flour

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup bacon, cooked and chopped

Using an electric mixer, fold bacon fat, butter, and brown sugar. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula if necessary.

Continue to mix on low and add eggs, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Continue to mix and add flour. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula if necessary.

Mix in chocolate chips and bacon and let dough rest for 30 minutes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Using a cookie scoop, spoon balls of dough onto baking sheets

Bake for 16 minutes and allow cookies to cool on a rack

Recipe Tip

After the bacon fat had been rendered drain, and let set in the refrigerator to set overnight

Refrigerate dough while letting it rest for 30 minutes and between filling the cookie sheet

For the individual skillet cookie, I used two large scoops of dough and baked it at 350 degrees for 20 minutes

This is a very crispy cookie with a very distinctive flavor that we just loved, I have made the cookies several times now and they just keep getting better.
