Pig-Out Cookies
from Gooseberry Patch's Game-Day Fan Fare
- 5 slices bacon
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 t. baking soda
- 1/4 t. baking powder
- 1/8 t. cinnamon
- 1/8 t. chili powder
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 t. vanilla
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cook bacon until crisp in a skillet over medium heat. Crumble and drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings; set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, chili powder, and salt; set aside. In a separate bowl, beat together butter and reserved drippings with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in peanut butter and sugars until creamy, about 4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce mixer setting to low; slowly beat in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and bacon. Roll dough into 12 balls; arrange 2 inches apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Flatten balls slightly. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes, until golden. Cool cookies on sheet for about 2 minutes; transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Makes one dozen.
