BACON CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
As a Southerner, I know that you should never, ever waste rendered bacon fat. So naturally I had to try and incorporate that liquid gold into one of my favorite foods: chocolate chip cookies. Over time, this evolved into actually putting the bacon into the cookie as well, which adds some extra crunch alongside the chocolate chips. While bacon fat can cause cookies to get very thin and crispy, the addition of molasses, cornstarch and an egg yolk help ensure that these cookies stay soft and chewy long after they've come out of the oven.

Steps:
- Lay the bacon flat in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, preferable one with handles, and transfer to a cold oven. Set the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and bake the bacon until crisp, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- While the bacon cooks, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Place the butter in a large heatproof bowl. Line a plate with paper towels and set a fine-mesh sieve over a heatproof liquid measuring cup.
- Once the bacon is crisp, immediately transfer it to the prepared plate. Carefully tilt the baking dish and scoop or pour the hot bacon fat through the strainer into the measuring cup.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the hot fat over the butter; save any additional fat for another use and discard the solids in the strainer. (If you don't have enough bacon fat to yield 1/4 cup then make up the difference with melted butter.) Let the fat and butter sit for 1 minute, to slightly melt the cubed butter.
- Cream the bacon fat and butter together with a handheld electric mixer on medium speed until slightly aerated (the mixture should still be quite loose and resemble the consistency of mayonnaise), about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar and molasses. Mix on medium speed until lightened in color, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla, mixing on low speed until incorporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until the dough is about three-quarters of the way mixed, about 1 minute. The dough will still be chunky with streaks of flour.
- Roughly chop 6 slices of the bacon to yield 1/2 cup. Add the chopped bacon and chocolate chips to the dough. Fold in with a rubber spatula, incorporating the streaks of flour and evenly distributing the bacon and chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough 30 minutes to 4 hours.
- While the dough chills, chop the remaining 3 slices of bacon into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces.
- When ready to bake the cookies, position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Scoop half of the dough into scant 2-tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake on the upper and lower oven racks for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and press 1 piece of the remaining bacon into the top of each cookie. Rotate the baking sheets and bake until the cookies are light golden and just set around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes more.
- Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack. You can let them cool completely but I recommend eating them warm!
- Repeat the scooping, baking and cooling with the remaining cookie dough after the baking sheets have cooled completely. Or freeze the scooped dough to bake later (see Cook's Note).

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. Crumble 2 slices of the cooked bacon into small pieces; place in large bowl. Add cookie mix, butter, egg and 1 tablespoon of the beer; stir until dough forms.
- Roll dough into 2-inch balls; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 11 to 13 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix remaining 1 tablespoon beer, the hazelnuts and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until brown sugar begins to reduce and caramelize. Spread mixture on sheet of parchment paper; cool.
- In medium microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and whipping cream uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir. If needed, microwave 15 to 30 seconds longer or until chips are melted and mixture can be stirred smooth.
- Spread chocolate ganache on top of each cookie. Sprinkle a few candied hazelnuts on top of each. Break or cut remaining 4 slices bacon into 10 to 12 pieces; press 1 piece on top of each cookie.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat together butter and sugars with a mixer on medium-high until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and egg, and beat on medium until combined.
- Add flour mixture and beat on low until just combined. Stir in finely chopped bacon, chocolate, and potato chips.
- Roll dough into 20 balls (about 2 tablespoons each). Place cookies 2 inches apart on two parchment-lined baking sheets, flatten with the palm of your hand, and top each piece with a slice of bacon. Bake until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on baking sheet on wire rack.
