Bacon Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the ultimate chocolate chip cookie dough made even better with some bacon and a homemade caramel drizzle. This is one sinful dessert and worth every calorie. I mean who wouldn’t love bacon chocolate chip cookies made right in your mixer? This cookie recipe also stands on its own if you are searching for a new chocolate chip cookie as your go to recipe. It has a special baking method to keep the cookies nice and thick! Use high quality bacon when making this cookie. I love to get the bacon from our Italian market and cook it up nice and crispy! You can use store bought caramel BUT it won’t compare to the flavors in real deal homemade version made on the stovetop with a simple wooden spoon. You can check out my homemade caramel recipe here. This cookie will be the star of any cookie platter and will definitely get everyone talking! I hope you try it out soon and “WOW” your friends and family with this unique cookie. You may also love Bacon Candy.  Or Bacon Caramel Cheesecake. You may even want to try adding a scoop of peanut butter on top or a sprinkle of  sea salt. I like to use Maldon’

    Can the dough be made the night before and refrigerated overnight? I would like to make these tomorrow but it would be best for me to have it pre-made since the four hour chuck messes with my schedule.

    I’m looking forward to making these cookies. Thanks for sharing the recipe. One suggestion: Since the dough needs to be refrigerated 4 hours …. there is no need to preheat oven in step one.

    I tried these and I’m not sure if something was wrong with the dough. the cookies were really cakey.

    It seemed no matter how much I mixed the ingredients it would never come out mixed well.
    I added an extra egg and a little more butter and it seemed to turn into dough at that point. When I loooked at the chocolate chip bag for cookie recipe almost everything was the same except 1 cup less flour. So I’m not sure if this recipe has too much flour? I’ll try it one more time in the future. And then if I can’t get it to mix again, I’ll use my own recipe with the bacon. Not sure if I did something wrong but still can’t figure it out.

    I think I would crumble the bacon and sprinkle on top instead of having the pieces sticking out of the cookie. The combination sounds yummy!!

    Hi again instead of making a smaller recipe do you think it would be ok to freeze half the dough for use at a later time?

    Can you mix the cooked bacon in the batter for more bacon consistency?
