OMG!! I got alot of sideways looks offering these but not one complaint. So fun So good. I would go less on the chocolate more on the bacon but that's just me.

I'm so glad that I decided to try this recipe! I am NOT a fan of bacon but I was very intrigued so I just went for it. The cookies turned out great. The only alteration was that I used a full bag of chocolate chips. I'll be making these again.

Best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. Best cookie recipe ever. My friends went nuts over these. The only thing I changed was I used rum extract in place of the maple because I couldn't find maple extract anywhere and I used an entire bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. You might think that would make them too "chippy" but it did not. As a matter of fact, I think anything less that a full bag will leave you a little short in the chip area. Delicious. The best ever. Really, reall great.

I thought these were absolutely delicious. My husband and son just gobbled them up. I think even when I want plain ol' chocolate chips recipe I will just omit the bacon, that's how much I love the flavor! Some cookies had bacon, some didn't, but I really did enjoy the flavor surprise. No complaints here!

These were very good. A few changes that I made: First, I candied my bacon. Lay out 5 strips of bacon on a foil-lined cookie sheet (preferably one with sides) and sprinkle with light brown sugar (about 2tsp per piece of bacon.) Bake at 400 degrees, turning once. Once the candied bacon is cool, crumble into bits. Also, I could not find maple extract in my grocery store, so I used pure maple syrup that had been infused with cinnamon. It made the batter delicious! Lastly, I did not have a stand mixer available when I made these, so I made them by hand. I let my butter get extremely soft, then whipped it with a whisk for several minutes until it got very light in color. Then added the other ingredients as called for. There is a high fat to flour ratio in this recipe, especially with the bacon in it (even if you drain the bacon, there will still be a bit of grease that will get in the batter) so these cookies spread out quite a bit and get very flat. Next time I might add a little more flour to try and even out the fat/flour ratio. Overall, a good (and very different!) cookie.

A great combination of meat and dessert!

Please note! Allrecipes.com had altered the recipe compared to my submitting. Butter *must* be room temperature. Sugars, extracts, butter and eggs must be added *together* into a stand mixer bowl. Whipping with a wooden spoon does not get the same result. You must also whip these wets together until completely incorporated and fluffy. The flattening is happening because the butter may not be distributed enough before the flour gets mixed in.

These are good as a novelty cookie. The maple extract added a very nice aroma. Although I followed the recipe to the letter, the cookies spread more than my normal recipe for chocolate chip cookies, so I made the rest of the cookies smaller after the first batch was done. I chopped the bacon into bacon bit size. You really could not taste the bacon in the final product.

Okay, let me first say that the only real issue I had with this recipe didn't involve the bacon! :) It was something like eating a chocolate chip pancake with syrup and a side of bacon. I wasn't put off by it, at all. Just make sure to cook the bacon crisp, crumble and drain well. However, I had to add more flour to this recipe. There isn't a high enough chip/dough ratio as written, to help hold the dough(only I used a mix of white and milk chocolate chips) and my first batch spread so much they LOOKED like the aforementioned pancakes. :) So, I just added another 1/4 cup flour, remixed and refrigerated it for a bit. The rest of the cookies were fine. Even though, as written, these just weren't the right consistency, I'm still giving it a 4 because the flavor which, to be honest, is likely what most folks will question, was good. A very rich cookie with a fun "don't tell them" ingredient. :)
