BBW's: Bacon, Black, & White Chip Cookies




These are certainly a different variation on the traditional chocolate chip cookie. I LOVE a good basic chocolate chip cookie, but some among us have an unnatural love of bacon (not naming names...). For the holiday party with fellow-bacon fiends this weekend, I made up this variation with bacon, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. I like to call them BBW's. There were none leftover at the end of the party.

I've tried many basic chocolate chip cookie recipes and always end up coming back to this tweak on the Nestle Tollhouse recipe. From the basic recipe I add in whatever mix-ins I want. :)


Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract (I like vanilla!)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 white chocolate chips
  • 1lb bacon, cooked crisply and crumbled


Directions

PREHEAT oven to 375° F.

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chips and bacon. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
