Looking for a great treat for the guy in your life, especially with Father’s Day just around the corner? Something tells me these Double Peanut Butter Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies will be a welcome site in the cookie jar!

Four dozen? YES! And I’m in and out of the kitchen in no time thanks to my Thanks to my beautiful, stainless steel gas range from GE. As I’ve mentioned previously with my Cake Mix Cookies recipe, the multi-rack convection feature allows me to bake two dozen cookies at once. Such a time saver!
These soft and chewy cookies are absolutely loaded with flavor. Peanut butter, peanut butter cups, chocolate chips and crumbled bacon all lend to the sweet and smoky flavor of these treats. I also chose to utilize bacon drippings to insure that without a doubt, you’d taste bacon in each and every bite. Mission accomplished!
