Bacon Potato Chip Cookies?? Yes, Please!!
I am always looking for new ways to incorporate bacon into recipes. I wanted to come up with a unique and fun recipe. I think this one is that and more! These chewy cookies have the perfect blend of sweet and salty.
They are also super simple and take about 20 minutes from start to finish (well, if you already have the bacon cooked). I planned ahead and reserved a few slices of bacon from what I prepared for breakfast.
If you have never had Potato Chip Cookies, you are missing out! Adding the bacon is just a bonus. I recommend that you use your favorite brand of ruffled or wavy chips.
Cream together sugars and butter. Add eggs and vanilla.
Add flour, baking soda and salt.
Add bacon.
Add crushed chips.
Roll 1 1/2 in balls and flatten on cookie sheet with a fork.
Bake for 10 minutes. Do not over bake so cookies remain soft & chewy.
I guarantee that you will crave these after trying them. If you bake cookies for a bake sale, class party, or holiday cookie swap, add these to your repertoire and you will have a unique cookie that people will LOVE. There is BACON in them for goodness sake!
