Description

this will make a large batch of cookies, approximately 60 medium/large sized cookies. Half the recipe for a smaller batch


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups salted butter (4 sticks), softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 cups packed brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 5 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons medium, coarse sea salt
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 24 oz semi sweet dark chocolate chips
  • 1 3.5 oz. bar Lindt sea salted dark chocolate, cut into small pieces
  • 12 pieces of cooked bacon, chopped into small pieces

Instructions

Preheat your oven 360 degrees. Combine butter, sugar and brown sugar until it is creams together and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes in a mixer on medium-high speed). Add eggs and vanilla and beat for 2 more minutes. Add baking soda, baking poweder, salt and the flour until the batter is fully mixed (you will want to do this with a mixer if you have one because it will make your hand VERY tired!) Add the chocolate chips and sea salt chocolate bar until they are uniformly mixed in. Next, add the bacon and mix everything together. This is a very thick cookie dough.

Line cookie sheets with parchment paper so they are easy to remove later. Drop the cookies onto the sheet in heaping tablespoons, even spaced on the cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, set your timer to check on them at the 10 minute mark since all ovens bake differently. They will be ready when the edges are slightly browned. Give the cookies a few minutes to cool before moving the parchment paper/cookies to a cool spot.

Serve these with a nice glass of milk. Santa is going to love you for leaving him these cookies!
