Bacon Street Chip Cookies

Soo...Bianca loves bacon. Allen loves bacon. Jill loves bacon. I love bacon. My mother loves bacon. My family loves bacon.
Vegetarians do not love bacon, but...
This guy loves bacon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVKJpkq-wNo
This lady and her husband love bacon too:

Jill and I have long contemplated the vast and varied possibilities of bacon...and once I found the above recipe I knew I had to try it. Once my cookie-tasting co-workers seemed to like the idea...I decided to go ahead.

Just the bacon...

...my dear grandmother Arline, who is far more successful and accomplished and experienced at the baking of bacon cooked the bacon for me at her house. She even crushed it up into bits too!

Normal chocolate cookie dough at this point...


Uh Oh! What is happening here?!


Baking with Bacon...pre-icing


and post...


And finally, a closer look at the bacon


I brought them in today at work...and overall they seemed to meet with a resounding,
"Well...that's odd...but not bad...actually, I think they are pretty good."

As an interesting side note, for over half of the time I was working on these, I was on the phone with a vegetarian. He wanted to taste them. Really. I could tell.

I'm hurt. you forgot to say Katie loves bacon. Because I LOVE bacon, and Bella loves bacon, she has maimed me for it. And wasn't I on the phone with you just two days about talking about different bacon appetizers?? I really want to try these cookies. Maybe you should make them for me to make it up to me.

Arline's bacon looks delicious... she needs to cook some and ship it up here :)

The bacon cookie has me intrigued, I am afraid of it but I also want to try one. Dusty is even more suspicious.

***** Five Cookies!

These were freaking delicious! Everyone was amazed, of course actually anything with bacon in it cannot be bad! Bacon and chocolate - heavenly! I liked the ones w/o the maple frosting simply because they weren't as sweet - wonderful breakfast cookies. My brother ate over a dozen of them!!! Course, he is a Gullion. :-)
