Add egg and vanilla, being careful not to overbeat.
Combine flours, soda, and salt.
Add combined dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
Stir in oats.
Carefully stir in shredded cheese and bacon crumbles.
The dough will be stiffer than\"normal\" cookies, but not dry.
Form by Tablespoonfuls into dough globs, lay them carefully in a container, separating layers with wax or parchment paper as needed.
Refrigerate until ready to bake.
These are best when allowed to sit overnight in the refrigerator and baked fresh in the morning.
(Or they can be baked immediately.) When ready to bake, space 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes and remove to a rack to finish cooling.
