As a co-workers favorite food is bacon, we decided to go with a bacon themed carry in and I made Candied Bacon Chocolate Chip cookies adapting a recipe from Tablespoon posted by Kristy of
The Girl Who Ate Everything. They were delicious and the bacon added a tasty element to the cookies, but nobody could actually taste any bacon.
Made 2 1/2 dozen cookies
For Candied Bacon
Cookies:
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup butter, slightly softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1 whole egg
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 16 oz pkg)
2 TBSP Milk
Normally when baking cookies, I will cream the sugar and butter together first and sift the flour, but my son was doing the mixing and put everything in a bowl and blended everything but the chips and bacon with a mixer and once well blended added them in. There may have been a difference in the texture, but I couldn't tell.
Reduce oven heat to 325 degrees, Line a baking sheet with parchment, spoon large heaping rounded tablespoons on to the baking sheet and bake 12-13 minutes and take out oven but allow to cool on the baking sheet. (We like a soft chewy texture, if you like a crispier cookie leave in a minute or so longer).
