Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, add the brown sugar, white sugar and peanut butter. Mix this for 2 minutes then add the egg and baking soda. Mix for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the bacon and mix the bacon in using a spatula.
  • Roll out pieces between your hands. You should end up with about 15 balls. To make these cookies even better, roll them in some sugar.
  • Using a fork, create a criss cross pattern.
  • Bake for 10 minutes then cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  1. Bacon Choice: Always use freshly cooked bacon for the best flavor. Avoid using bacon bits or pre-packaged bacon pieces.
  2. Peanut Butter: Smooth peanut butter gives the best texture, but if you like some crunch, you can use chunky peanut butter.
  3. Sugar Topping: Rolling the cookie balls in sugar before baking adds an extra sweet crunch. This step is optional but highly recommended.
  4. Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for longer shelf life.
  5. Variation: For a chocolate twist, consider adding chocolate chips or drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
