Brown Sugar Bacon Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon table salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup finely chopped cooked bacon, well-drained (or more)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325\u00b0F.
Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
In the work bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand-held electric mixer), cream butter and both sugars until fluffy and mostly smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
Turn the mixer down to low and add dry ingredients, a little at a time, until incorporated.
Stir in chopped bacon by hand with a spoon.
Place spoonfuls of dough (1 to 1 1/2 tbsp each) on parchment- or Silpat-lined cookie sheet. Press down with back of fork. Bake in preheated oven 14-18 minutes, rotating back-to-front after 7 minutes. (For best results, bake only one sheet at a time, in the middle of the oven.).
When cookies are golden brown, remove from oven and transfer to a rack to cool.
