Chewbacca the Wookie has a meat tooth that’s why these chocolate chip cookie are accelerated to light speed with crispy bacon. They may not look like much, but they’ve got it where it counts. Laugh it up, fuzzballs. Join the bacon side and may the force be with you.

Ingredients:

2 cups of all purpose flour

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

¾ cup of unsalted butter (1½ sticks), at room temperature

1 cup of brown sugar

½ cup of sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

2 cups chocolate chips

8 strips of bacon

Recipe:

Preheat your oven to 350˚F.

Place your bacon on a parchment line cookie sheet and bake until your bacon is very crispy. The time will depend entirely on how thick your bacon is and how quickly your oven heats up. Just keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

When the bacon is lovely and dark, remove it from the pan and allow it to cool and crisp up before chopping it into chunks. Cut the bacon small enough that it’s not too much of a shock, but not enough that you can’t see the bacon.

Also, you’ll want to pour off any bacon fat for addition into the cookie later.

Get 2 large mixing bowls ready.

In the first bowl combine the dry ingredients, flour, salt and baking soda. Use a whisk to mix all the ingredients together and set aside.

In the second bowl combine the soft butter with the brown and white sugar using a heavy duty wooden spoon until they are smoothly incorporated. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir to incorporate. Now stir in the recovered bacon fat and incorporate quickly.

Add the chocolate chips and chopped up bacon. Stir it all up.

Make golf ball shaped balls of cookie dough and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave lots of space between the cookies as they will melt out a bit.

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes. I like mine pretty soft in the middle. Place the cookies on a cooling rack while you bake more batches. These cookies are best warm out of the oven.

Happiness is a warm wookie, er cookie.
