I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, “EVERYTHING is better with bacon.” Absolutely everything, guys. One of my missions in life is to perfect each kind of cookie. Okay, that’s not true…but at least all the good kinds. This week I decided to tackle the peanut butter genre. Naaaaaailed it. Know why? I added bacon. Know why else? I also added chocolate chips to some (I have a hard time making a dessert that doesn’t involve chocolate…I mean, what’s the point?). But, I’ll be damned if you don’t like these cookies. The heavenly combo of savory and sweet. The perfect balance between mmm, mmm tasty and tooth ache inducing. You really just can’t go wrong. Now, I’m a crunchy peanut butter person, but feel free to use creamy (if you’re too weak for the crunch). Enjoy!
