Chocolate Chunk Bacon Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons softened butter

• 4 tablespoons bacon grease

• ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed

• ½ cup raw sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 ½ cups all‑purpose einkorn flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon sea salt

• 2 cups chocolate chunks

• 6–8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped

Instructions

1. Prep bacon and oven

   • Cook bacon until crisp, drain well on paper towels, and chop.

   • Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment.

2. Cream fats and sugars

   • In a large bowl, cream butter, bacon grease, brown sugar, and raw sugar

   • Beat in eggs, then vanilla, mixing until smooth and slightly thickened.

3. Mix dry ingredients

   • In another bowl, whisk einkorn flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Don’t overwork it.

4. Combine and fold in mix‑ins

   • Add dry ingredients to wet and mix.

   • Fold in chocolate chips and chopped bacon.

5. Chill dough (important for einkorn + bacon fat)

   • Cover and chill overnight; this helps einkorn hydrate and keeps cookies from spreading too much with the softer fats.

6. Portion and bake

   • Scoop out cookie batter, spacing 2 inches apart.

   • Bake at 350°F for 9–11 minutes, until edges are just turning golden and centers still look slightly underdone.

7. Cool

   • Let cookies cool.
