I made this recipe for a "Bacon Explosion" tailgate party, and I left with more than half the tray. First time I've had cookies leftover from a tailgate party. I might as well have just bought peanut butter/chocolate cookies because there was no bacon flavor to these. Super easy to make but this recipe doesn't live up to it's name. The cookies are way too delicate, they fall apart on first bite and are "challenging" to remove from your baking stone. Regarding taste, you get the peanut butter, then the sweet chocolate, and you wonder where the bacon is. After adding bacon grease to the batter and extra bacon on the top, the "bacon flavor" was still overwhelmed by the peanut butter and chocolate. My suggestion, skip this.
