Ingredients
- 3/4 pounds Bacon, Diced
- 2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 cups Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature

Method
- In a large pan, or in the oven under broil, cook bacon or diced bacon pieces. Drain the pieces on a paper towel and reserve the fat, draining it into a bowl to chill in the refrigerator until it has hardened to the consistency of room temperature butter.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and whisk together.
- Beat the butter, bacon fat, sugars, bourbon, and vanilla together in the bowl of a mixer until the sugar and butter are combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg.
- Beat in the flour mixture about 1/2 cup at a time. Beat in the chocolate chips and bacon bits.
- Bake at 375°F for 9-12 minutes or until desired level of golden brown. Let cool.
