I ate the most delicious chocolate chip cookie of my life yesterday

Sounds repulsive.

It's relatively common in places like New York. Bacon ice cream is also very good.

You gotta like sweet/savory combinations and, of course, bacon.

I think that horrid Pioneer Woman on Food Network made these on her show. Sounded awful but maybe I’ll have it give it a try.

Add 1/4 cup of peanut butter to the recipe and now we're talking!

There’s some shade being thrown in r2, but it’s so subtle I’m not certain who’s being dissed.

Remove the white sugar, leave the brown sugar. Add maple chips and bacon bits. Shockingly enjoyable.

You can also add salted peanuts instead of bacon. Delicious!

YUMMERS!!!!!!!!

No, there really wasn't.

Sometimes, bacon chocolate chip cookies are just bacon chocolate chip cookies - and tasty.

Some of you will be grossed out by this, but a friend made a similar batch of chocolate chunk cookies, one using chicharon pork cracklings, and another with crispy chicken skin, and they were delicious. The salty and sweet go together well.

Crispy chicken skin in a chocolate chip cookie?!

There's a restaurant in NYC called Bar Bacon. All the items on the menu have bacon in them. Even the drinks have bacon in them.

I kind of can see the bacon being good, but if the cookie dough is cooked with bacon fat, doesn't it become too savory?

The best chocolate chip cookies are made with melted, good quality butter, a combination of brown and white sugar, and semisweet chocolate chips.

[R12] - What's the address, please. Sounds delicious!

[quote]A co-worker brought a tray. Yes, she's a bit of a frau.

“She’s a bit of a frau”, yet you took and ate at least one (likely more) of her cookies anyway. Typical.

I'll go out tonight and slaughter a pig!

I'll get back to y'all.

Little bits of pretzel in the cookies will achieve the same crunch and saltiness as well.

Looks like someone was bleeding while they were making these.

I just can't imagine it, bacon has a distinctive smoky flavor if it's good bacon, not that I'm any kind of avid meat eater, I'm not. But I just can't comprehend a flavor like bacon being put into a chocolate chip cookie. I mean, you might as well use lard as the shortening for the cookie dough, am I right? Bacon and lard come from the same animal. Someone please explain or elaborate on this seemingly trendy fascination for "bacon in everything" lately.

Real bacon might be good in the cookie, but the one pictured at OP looks like those awful, artificial bacon bits.

R3, the Pioneer Women episode with these cookies was rerun this morning so it's obviously where OP got his fantasy story.

R22, you watch the Pioneer Woman?? Why?

In an episode of Three’s Company, Jack ended up winning a cookie contest by making chocolate chip cookies with cough drops as a secret ingredient! 😱

Ruth Wakefield would be appalled.

Anything with bacon... yum..um..um..yum! Sweet and salty is an interesting, delicious combo.

It sounds delicious.

Here is a nice recipe for those who want to try their hands at this dish.

Delicious...

I could never understand why an adult would eat a chocolate chip cookie? OK I get it if you're like 8 years old but by the time you hit adulthood, your tastes should be substantially upmarket from that.

Thank you, R28 and R29..

You're never too old for a chocolate chip cookie.. or any sweets. We still have the kid in us and have a sweet tooth.

R24 my favorite episode “MY crown”! Lol

R30 it has to do with tongue receptors and cognition. Certain receptors stimulate certain parts of cortex. You remember the pleasant taste and the experience . That's why sometimes you crave CERTAIN unhealthy foods. But brain doesn't know these foods lack of nutrients. Healthier foods give you a full stomach but the stimuli is weaker.

R23, lol. I DVR "The Kitchen" (you could legit ask why I watch that but I do like both Jeff and Geoff) and it picked up the last few minutes of PW and yesterday morning, there she was with her bacon Chocolate Chip cookies.

The bacon fad needs to go. Why is AmeriCanadian food always like "this".

My grandma made the best chocolate cookies in the world where she substituted lard for butter. It created that delicious savory sweet taste.

R36. How fucking white trash does someone have to be to think they have to shove bacon and pig lard into every fucking bit of food they touch?

^^^ oh wait.....

This answers my question.

You didn't even bother to read the post, just jumped right in bitching. Typical.

R6 ... Maple chips? Are you Canadian maybe?

Maple chips? Sounds great!

Might as well just add ham...

bacon is one of the worst things you can eat - packed with fat and salt. I avoid it at all costs.

There is nothing healthy about eating cookies period r44, but if you are going to be indulging on that sugar bomb, no reason to draw a line in the sand at bacon.

Bacon fat is really good to cook with. I also use chicken fat, too. I’ll mix either with safflower oil or butter, depending.

Anything with beans is elevated by using a little bacon fat. Potatoes can benefit from either, too.

My other secret ingredients are nutritional yeast and anchovy paste.

But not in baking.

I can't even find maple chips online except for wood chips for BBQ, and some chunks of dried maple sugar.

Ah yes, R46 . You know what's even better? When you just go ahead and inject that lard directly into your veins.

It's the goddamned 21st Century and people are still talking about ways to work a pig's ass into their food.

Grown ups do not eat Chocolate Chip cookies

Bacon does NOT come from a pig's ass you heathen.

R17, Sorry but it's the wrong time of the year for hog killing and Paula would know this.

Sweet and salty combos always work, think of bacon or ham with pancakes and lots of maple syrup.
