Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 c (2 sticks) butter
  • 1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1/2 - 1 cup bacon
  • Coarse sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • The butter will begin to foam.
  • Make sure you whisk consistently during this process.
  • After a couple of minutes, the butter will begin to brown on the bottom of the saucepan.
  • Continue to whisk and remove from heat as soon as the butter begins to brown and give off a nutty aroma.
  • Immediately transfer the butter to a glass bowl to prevent burning.
  • Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
  • With an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended.
  • Beat in the egg, yolk, vanilla, and yogurt until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients slowly and beat on low-speed just until combined.
  • Gently fold in all of the chocolate and peanut butter chips and bacon.
  • Chill your dough for 2 hours in the refrigerator. (DO NOT skip this step!)
  • Once dough is chilled measure about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball.
  • Place dough balls on cookie sheet, 2 inches apart and flatten with your hand VERY gently.
  • Bake the cookies 9-11 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and let cool.
