PEANUT BUTTER BACON COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat peanut butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer until well combined. Add egg and baking soda; beat until smooth, 1 minute. Fold in bacon. Form dough into walnut-sized balls.
• Pour 2 tablespoons white sugar into a bowl; roll balls in the sugar until coated. Arrange coated balls on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

PEANUT BUTTER-CHOCOLATE CHIP-BACON COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, chile powder and salt in a large bowl.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings and set aside to cool. Crumble the bacon, discarding any chewy bits.
• Beat the butter and reserved bacon drippings in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the peanut butter until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in the granulated and light brown sugar until creamy, about 4 minutes, then add the egg and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 2 additions, scraping down the bowl as needed, until just combined. Stir in the peanuts and all but 2 tablespoons each of the chocolate chips and bacon.
• Form the dough into 12 balls and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten with your fingers (the cookies will not spread in the oven); press the reserved bacon and chocolate chips on top. Bake until golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

BACON PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, stirring until well combined.
• Meanwhile, chop or crumble cooked bacon into small pieces, approx. 1/4 "square. Place bacon into a small bowl and drizzle with honey until all pieces are nicely glazed; set bacon aside and reserve for later use.
• Using an electric mixer, beat butter until creamy in a large mixing bowl; add 8 Tbs. of reserved cooled bacon fat. Add sugars and beat mixture until creamy, approx. 2-3 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula, then add peanut butter and beat until thoroughly combined.
• Add eggs, one at a time, then vanilla; scrape down sides of bowl again, and then, on low speed, mix in the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold in the ground peanuts.
• Form dough into golf ball-sized rounds and gently press a few pieces of reserved bacon crumbles into the dough on top of each cookie. Place cookie rounds onto an ungreased baking sheet, spaced approx. 2 inches apart. Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie round, pressing bacon a bit further into dough and flattening each round a bit.
• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, rotating the baking sheet half way through the baking time, or until the cookies are golden brown and just slightly set at the center. Cool cookies for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
