Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 100 gram bacon
  • 100 gram butter
  • 110 gram caster sugar
  • 110 gram brown sugar
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 240 gram all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 100 gram dark chocolate
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instruction

  • Fry the diced bacon in a dry frying pan on medium heat until crispy. Drain the bacon on a plate lined with paper towels and let the bacon come to room temperature before mixing in with the other ingredients.
  • Warm the butter in a small pan on medium heat until the butter smells nutty and is golden in colour. Set aside and leave till the butter solidifies again.
  • To make the cookies, start by creaming the butter together with the two types of sugar – this should take ca. 5 minutes.
  • Add the 2 eggs, one after another, making sure the first egg is well incorporated before you mix in the second egg.
  • Mix the baking powder with the flour and combine with the butter-egg-sugar mix.
  • Mix in the diced bacon and the chopped chocolate.
  • Let the dough rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour and up to 36 hours.
  • When ready to bake the cookies, pre-heat the oven to 175 degrees. Place drops of dough the size of 2 tablespoons on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between the cookies as they will spread in the oven. Flatten the dough with a spoon and sprinkle some sea salt on each cookie. Bake cookies for ca. 12 minutes.
