Amazing cookies! I used thick cut bacon and cut it up into bits before I browned it, and it worked really well! These are so tasty, they're my new favorite cookie!

I've made these several times and they're always a big hit. I don't have the smoked chili powder, so I omit it. The cinnamon in the recipe is just enough to make the cookie interesting. I tried to microwave the bacon & crumble it after cooking, but now I cut up the bacon first in uniform pieces, then fry it. All componants of this cookie work so well together. No one flavor overwhelms the other, so I've keep the measurements as shown in the recipe. Note: because of the bacon, the cookies don't keep as long as regular chocolate chip cookies; the bacon starts to taste a little gamey after a few days. Luckily, they never last that long. : I'm assuming that's why the recipe only makes 12 cookies. For me, one batch makes about 18 cookies. I make them into about 1 1/4 inch balls and pat them down to even size & height so they bake evenly. This recipe is definately a keeper!

Wonderful and easy recipe. I actually bake the bacon in the oven at 425 for 12 minutes on parchment paper, then reserved the grease. I get it really crispy without that splatter from frying the bacon. Can't wait to make more!

HOLY COW were these good!!! The recipe said it only made 12, so I tripled the recipe, and ended up with 5 dozen, so I guess they make 12 big cookies. They didn't last long, though, even with my hubby taking a generous amount to share at work. I agree with other reviewers who commented that the chili powder was almost lost in the flavors, and I think a bit more would have really accented the other flavors well. I also added more chocolate chips than called for, and they came out fine. Will DEFINTELY make again.

Really a delicious cookie. Very good looking also. If made smaller, would be a great party cookie.

I just finished making these cookies and they were a big hit! I used turkey bacon which was okay, but i will definetly use regular bacon next time. A little more chili powder would have really kicked it up and i added twice the amount of chocolate chips. Overall, these were really good and easy to make. lets hope my brother doesnt eat the whole bag of them before my parents get home!

I made these for my husband for father's day and they were easy and delicious. I did take the advice of some of the other reviewers and added more bacon (8 slices and more chocolate chips (1/2 cup I also omitted the peanuts. They came out great and my husband loved them. Also, the dough is exactly the texture that peanut butter cookie dough should be. I had no problems with it.

These aren't bad. I modified the recipe a little after reading comments below. I used 1/3 cup peanut butter, no nuts, more chocolate chips (like double, and WAY more bacon. If I'm putting bacon in a cookie, I'm going to make it worth it. I used 8 sliced, but would recommend a pound. I also omitted salt and used 2 eggs instead of 1. Oh and I used 5 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp bacon fat, instead of the 4/2 ratio it calls for. And I would increase the brown sugar to 3/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup. But these are all just my opinion.

These were so-so cookies. My family was not crazy about the flavor combinations, especially my dad who was the main reipient of this gift! There was a large amount of labor for the not-impressive or outstanding flavor. However, I found the cinnamon and chili powder in peanutbutter cookies to be a delicious twist that I will try later. I will definately not make these particular cookies again though.
