These are amazing!!!! I hope the bacon-chocolate combo is here to stay! Has anyone tried the bacon chocolate bar by Vosges yet? They are incredible. Hey Jess...what about a chocolate covered bacon recipe?

Greg- try substituting egg replacer or ground flax seed for the eggs!

I could see this being good. Shame we're an egg-free household (due to kid's allergies) or I'd try the recipe.

I thought last year was the "Year of Bacon," but I think we're actually just getting started and now entering "The Decade of Bacon!"

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks of butter (1 cup)
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
12 ounces Nestle’s semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 package (at least 11 slices) thick cut bacon, raw
1/8 cup additional brown sugar, approximately

Preparation

1
First we cook the bacon. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lay the bacon on a pan with parchment or a Silpat, and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for about 12 minutes, flip, then bake 12 minutes more (make sure it’s nice and cooked and brown). Let the bacon cool on a rack or on paper towels. Break up into pieces, and press in between more paper towels to remove all the excess grease.
2
Raise oven to 375 degrees. Beat together the butter, sugars, and vanilla. Once lightened and well combined, mix in the two eggs. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and combine well. Stir in the bag of chocolate chips and the crumbled bacon.
3
Scoop 1 tablespoon sized balls onto a Silpat-lined or greased cookie sheet. I found the cookies took about 10 minutes to bake, but I would check after 9 to see if they are done. Let cool, or enjoy while they are warm and fuzzy.
