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.
