Directions:1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour the drippings into a small bowl, keeping the bacon in the skillet, letting the drippings cool.
2. add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, and the water to the skillet with bacon and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the bacon is crisp, about one minute. Remove the bacon and put it on a plate to cool.
3. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl with a whisk. In a large bowl, beat the butter, two tablespoons of the reserved bacon drippings, the remaining half cup brown sugar, and the granulated sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. This takes about two to three minutes. Beating the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until well combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low, and beat in the flour mixture until just combined. add the pretzels, chocolate chips, m&m’s, and bacon beating until just combined. Stir in the potato chips with a rubber spatula.
4. Roll the dough into large balls (about 3 tablespoons each). place two inches apart on the baking sheets. bake until the cookies are set around the edges, but soft in the middle, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven with oven mitts. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the pans, then use a spatula to remove the cookies and place them on racks to cool completely. |
