    You may be wondering what these cookies taste like. Well they are just like a classic chocolate chip cookie with bacon bits added. I think the sweetness of the chocolate chips and the saltiness of the bacon complement each other very well.

    My wife suggested I cut back on the bacon grease a bit (like ½ tablespoon) as she could really taste it (is that a bad thing?). For me, the dominant flavor was the vanilla pudding. Time for another taste tester!

    This recipe will make 24 cookie so unless you are using 2 baking sheets, you will have a 10 minute gap between the first and second batch while you let the cookies cool down. Plan accordingly!

    🥓 How to Make Bacon

    If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I've put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon - 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.

    And don't throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.
