We love chocolate. We love bacon. Why not combine them to create a jaw-dropping, delicious dessert? See if friends & loved ones can guess the secret ingredient!
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set them aside until you're ready to bake the cookies.
Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Beat the butter, bacon fat, and both sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, until light and creamy. Add the egg and the vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and mix well after each addition.
Add in the milk chocolate chips and chopped cooked bacon and mix until evenly distributed.
Spoon heaping tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets and bake for 10–12 minutes. Let cool before eating.
If you want to tone down the bacon flavor, simply omit the bacon bits and use only the bacon fat. The result will be a smoky, salty flavor that foodies can’t get enough of!
