Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

To some, this may seem weird... to bacon lovers, you know you are excited.  I have been dying to make these since sometime during my third trimester but being that I loathe cooking bacon and all the messiness it entails, I held off till I came upon some cooked bacon.  Some will love these instantly.  Others will be unsure, eating several to decide how they feel.  In the end, the bacon chocolate chip cookie will leave no prisoners... deliciousness.

1/2 lbs cooked bacon, drained and crumbled

2 1/2 all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 c light brown sugar, packed

1/2 c sugar

1 c butter, softened

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 c semi sweet chocolate morsels

Preheat oven to 300 F.  Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.  Begin to cream butter, adding in both brown and white sugar gradually till you have a grainy mix.  Mix eggs in one at a time and vanilla.  Incorporate flour mixture into butter sugar mixture, being sure not to over mix.  Mix in morsels and bacon.  Chill dough to avoid flat cookies.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto greased cookie sheets about two inches a part.  Bake 19-20 minutes or until edges just start to brown and center of cookie looks uncooked.  Let rest on sheet 10 minutes before removing (this allows center to finish baking)!!!

Makes about 4 dozen.
