bacon chocolate sable cookies

Probably one of the most delicious cookies I've ever had....This might be because they include crispy bacon...

This recipe is from broma bakery (with some minor changes)

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cups flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tspn baking soda
11 tbs butter
2/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract/coffee *
3/4 cup chopped semisweet chocolate *
10-12 strips crispy bacon crumpled into tiny chunks

                 * If it isn't too much trouble, substitute vanilla for coffee (any kind works!). All things coffee really
                    bring out the chocolate flavor but if you already finished your morning cup, vanilla will do :)
                 * The recipe I used calls for bittersweet chocolate but I only had semisweet on hand and it
                    worked just fine so use whichever you prefer  

1. If your bacon isn't ready, you better start soon because it takes a while to get nice and crispy
2. In their own bowl, mix your dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt)
3. In a separate bowl combine your butter and sugars and vanilla/coffee. I hand mixed everything with a
    whisk but if you prefer an electric mixer, go for it!
4. Combine the dry ingredients to butter-sugar mixture, adding a little bit at a time
5. Hand mix the bacon and chocolate chunks. And by hand mix, I mean literally get dirty and use your hand.
    Or you could use a spatula or wooden spoon, but then where's the fun?! Just don't use a whisk or electric 
    mixer.
6. Roll into logs that are about 1 1/2 inches in width. If your logs look like they belong in a toilet rather than
    your kitchen counter...you're doing everything right.
7. Wrap your logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. You can keep them in the fridge for a
    few days before baking, but if you're anything like me, you're counting down the 3 hours until the last
    minute. You can also freeze them if you don't plan on baking them for a long time.

I placed cookies on wax paper, which I do for most baked goods because
it's more reassuring than anything called "non-stick"!

TO BAKE
Slice logs into 1/2 inch cookies
Bake at 325° F for 12 minutes. They may look undone, but trust me folks - 12 minutes.
