Everything is Delicious with Bacon, even Cookies
“My husband and I were having a conversation about what foods could and could not be made better with the addition of bacon. Sure, that was a good salad, but it would have been so much better with bacon. That was a delicious baked potato.. I wish it had some bacon on it. You know what was missing from breakfast this morning?- bacon. I think we’ve come up with so many foods which bacon can enhance, that we really were wondering what foods it wouldn’t.”
A woman after my own heart! I know what you’re thinking right now, “oh no, they didn’t…”
Yes, yes they DID!
Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies with Bacon
I just about fell out of my chair when I saw the beautiful cookies.
I was excited and I wanted to share the news of chocolate chip bacon cookies with my friends. Only one problem, all of my buddies on IM at the time were Jewish. As funny as it sounds, I thought it might be offensive or taken improperly and maybe I’d seem culturally insensitive so I sent it to my non-Jewish friend.
He happens to have Polish roots and I thought to myself, hey, “Polish Sausage!” I knew for sure he’d love it! Here’s how he responded:

M: 12/10/07 2:56 PM: That is so disgusting.
Fred: 12/10/07 2:57 PM: No man, so delicious!
M: eeeeeeew
Well, I guess Chocolate covered cookies with bacon may not be ready for prime time. I personally love the idea and I think it could be the next million dollar project, but you never know how fickle consumers will react.
This got me thinking, with proper marketing and a solid recipe, who knows, maybe it could work?
This is one of the reasons why I need great people around me when it comes to making business decisions. I get so excited and want to take over the world with bacon covered chocolate chip cookies. My advisers and friends tell me that it’s not a wise move and I should consider something more “safe”, like… bacon-flavored ice cream.
Glad I asked!

I posted this recipe on my blog and the response has been OVERWHELMING! Hundreds of people are intrigued by the idea and while many have felt their cholesterol raise at the very idea, just as many are excited to try it!
Ugh…I don’t know if I could handle those. Not even thinking about the calories! lol
Check out the third picture down on the left. Anthony Bourdain featured Voodoo Doughnuts on his show. The Maple Bar with Bacon sounds awesome, but I’m not as sure about the cookie with bacon.

I totally digg this idea, it’s my goal to have these cooked up by February.
I’ve been catching a lot of heat as well for how radical this idea is, don’t be turned away from it you’re a pioneer in my eyes.
This could potentially be tasty but peanut butter and jelly with bacon is where is is at. You can thank elvis for that one.
There have been advertisements for cookies with ham in them inside my Hotmail inbox for a while now, so anything is possible.

I can’t speak to Bacon Cookies..
However, I recently made for a “bake-off” this valentine’s day… bacon toffee.

I would say this was a sleeper hit. People were afraid to try it, but those who did… man alive, love at first sight. Coming back for more, when it was all over I was making care packages for the mostly male fanbase.
Even CANDY is better with bacon.
