1. In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and set aside.
2. In an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the bacon fat and sugars together until very light and fluff for about 5 minutes. Then, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir the chopped chocolate and bacon into the dough.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
4. Scoop large rounds of dough onto a baking sheet, and bake them until golden brown but still soft for 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack for 10 minutes, then slip cookies onto another rack to cool a bit more.

I have made Bacon chocolate chip cookies for years. And they are a local favorite and sell out weekly. I get orders for these by the dozen several times a week
Hi there! Interesting but am sure it's good. Check out our Chocolate covered Asian jerky with caramel too. Smoky and savory and sweet at the same time :)
