Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip, Bacon Cookies

I am a huge fan of peanut butter, I have been craving something with peanut butter for sometime, but wanted to make it myself.  I was doing some searching on the web for peanut butter cookies.  I had scrolled through a few pages and nothing had caught my eye until i saw it.  A recipe that married together chocolate  peanut butter and bacon.  I mean it makes since right?  Its like eating a Resse's Peanut Butter Cup chasing it with a strip of bacon...sounds good I know.
I refined my search for this cookie, and I found what I was looking for.  This recipe I even got to use some of the bacon fat.
I made this recipe once and did not have the proper tools to do the job.  Meaning I did not have a mixing bowl and or a mixer of any kind.  I tried my best with a whisk and doing myself.  I also even used my hands to knead the dough.  I baked them not knowing what I was going to get and surprisingly they came out well.  I wanted to make them again.  I just so happened to get my tax return so I went out and purchased a hand mixer and a mixing bowl.  I doubled the recipe this time and added a little more bacon this time.  They are so moist, sweet and salty.  I cookies that makes you crave more...I have not had a cookie like that it quite some time.  Come to think of it not since I had one of my grandmothers Christmas cookies.
