Chocolate Chip Bacon Cookies

Step 6 Adding Chocolate and Bacon

We ended up not having enough chocolate, so we cut up some Hershey's kisses to get it up to the 1 cup mark. Once you get a full cup of chocolate, add that into the mixture.

Next, we need to cut up our bacon. By now, they should be relatively grease free, and much easier to cut up. Dice them up into chucks, it's easier to do them all at one time. With our 6 slices we ended up getting a little more than 1/2 cup of bacon.

I wouldn't suggest going over a 50:50 ratio of chocolate to bacon.

Add the bacon to the mixture, and mix it up by hand using a spoon.

JockoSadie1 suggests putting the dough into the fridge or freezer for 15-30 minutes to let it rest. I haven't tried it out yet, but these cookies really do flatten out. So, if you have the patience, pop 'em in the fridge.
