Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies

I love love love bacon! Don't you? 
And I love peanut butter cookies. So while I was looking for the perfect peanut butter cookie recipe I stumbled upon one of my favorite blog sites- Joy The Baker. Her recipes are so amazing and unique. Anyways, I saw this and had to make these cookies now! They are super easy to make and super delicious! 

Fry up 6 pieces of Bacon.

1 cup of Peanut Butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup sugar

 
Mix Peanut Butter and sugars for 2 minutes

Add in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda.
Mix for 2 minutes and fold in Bacon.

Folded in Bacon
Roll into Walnut sized balls.
I rolled mine in some sugar as well

  
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. (Don't mind the 2 missing cookies)

Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies
adapted from Joy the Baker
makes 15 cookies about the size of your palm
1 cup all-natural chunky or smooth peanut butter
1 cup sugar (1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar)
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
about 6 slices of bacon, cooked, cooled and dices
In a skillet over medium high heat, fry up bacon until cooked through and let cool on paper towels until cool enough to dice.  Dice up and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a baking sheet with butter and set aside. In a mixer combine peanut butter and sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add egg and baking soda and mix for another 2 minutes.  Fold in cooked bacon.   Roll into large walnut sized balls and create a cris-cross pattern with a fork. If you’d like, roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before making the cris-cross pattern. Bake for 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a baking sheet for five minutes, then transfer to a baking sheet... or your mouth.
Enjoy!

I'll have to send them to you. :)
Thank you for thinking that I'm not crazy for making these. I know my coworkers all thought I had finally lost my mind.
