Chocolate Oinks

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks butter 1 cup
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips Nestle's
• 1 package thick cut bacon at least 11 slices
• 1/8 cup brown sugar additional, approximately

1. First we cook the bacon. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lay the bacon on a pan with parchment or a Silpat, and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for about 12 minutes, flip, then bake 12 minutes more (make sure it's nice and cooked and brown). Let the bacon cool on a rack or on paper towels. Break up into pieces, and press in between more paper towels to remove all the excess grease.
2. Raise oven to 375 degrees. Beat together the butter, sugars, and vanilla. Once lightened and well combined, mix in the two eggs. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and combine well. Stir in the bag of chocolate chips and the crumbled bacon.
3. Scoop 1 tablespoon sized balls onto a Silpat-lined or greased cookie sheet. I found the cookies took about 10 minutes to bake, but I would check after 9 to see if they are done. Let cool, or enjoy while they are warm and fuzzy.
