Bacon Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies
I LOVE using bacon fat to make cookies! It's different, it's dairy free if you need it to be and it's frugal!
Ingredients
- 1 cup bacon fat melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour or fresh ground soft white wheat or a GF 1:1 blend
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips if you want really chocolatey you can up to 1 ½ cups
- Milk or water as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Mix bacon fat, sugar, molasses, eggs, and vanilla. This is a cookie recipe easily done with a wooden spoon or danish dough whisk, or a mixer if you really want.
- Measure flour on top, and then the baking powder on top and mix it into the flour before mixing it all into the dough.
- Check the consistency and add a bit of milk or water to make a dough that forms into nice balls.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Use a 2 tablespoon scooper and place on the cookie sheet.
- Flatten the cookies with your hands or a wet fork. These won't spread much beyond this.
- Bake for 12 minutes, rotating sheet halfway.
Notes
- No bacon fat at the ready? Try olive oil or melted coconut oil for the correct fat content and to keep things dairy-free.
- Make sure your chocolate chips are dairy-free if need be. Enjoy Life is a good brand.
