(I am not familiar with the "Big Green Egg" but assume it's some type of grill).

Ingredients

• 12 strips maple bacon
• 3/4 cup softened butter
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the bacon on the stove until browned; break into bite-size pieces (not crumbles). Reserve 1 1/2 tbsp of bacon grease and mix in the butter and sugar, then add the eggs, vanilla, and remaining ingredients.

Form cookies.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 F or Big Green Egg.
