For an extra layer of flavor, consider using a smoked bacon. Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If the dough is too sticky to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before shaping.
A symphony of sweet and savory, these cookies offer an unexpected twist on a classic treat. The creamy peanut butter is perfectly complemented by the smoky, salty bacon, creating an irresistible indulgence that will surprise and delight your taste buds.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine peanut butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined. (2 minutes)
Add egg and baking soda; beat until smooth. (1 minute)
Fold in the diced bacon until evenly distributed throughout the dough. (2 minutes)
Roll dough into walnut-sized balls. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar into a small bowl. Roll each ball in the sugar until fully coated, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (10 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, approximately 10-12 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)
