Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies
Modified from The Gourmet Cookbook
Makes around 15 palm sized cookies

Ingredients
1 cup all-natural chunky or smooth peanut butter
1 cup sugar (1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar)
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda

about 6 slices of bacon, cooked, cooled and diced (If you can, use Maple Bacon. It gives that slightly sweeter and saltier taste!)

Method

In a skillet cook bacon until cooked through. Let cool on a paper towel. Once cooled,  dice up and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease a baking sheet with butter and set aside. In a mixer combine peanut butter and sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add egg and baking soda and mix for another 2 minutes.  Fold in cooked bacon.

Roll into large walnut sized balls and create a cris-cross pattern with a fork. If you’d like, roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before making the cris-cross pattern. Bake for 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a baking sheet for five minutes, then transfer to um...your mouth! :D
