I made only half the recipe and still came out with about 30 two to three inch cookies. The only change I made was that I used a mix of Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips and Nestlé butterscotch chips. The Ghirardelli chips were excellent but I wasn't crazy about the butterscotch chips and would definitely forego those next time. Overall though, these came out tasty however this recipe makes hard cookies and I generally prefer soft gooey cookies. Also, there isn't nearly enough bacon. It seems like you hardly get a taste of the bacon. I used two-thirds of a 12 oz. package of bacon and will definitely use the entire package next time. When you do actually get a bite of bacon in the cookie, the salty-sweet combo is wonderful. I plan on adding bacon to some other cookie recipes now. I think peanut butter cookies with bacon will be the next item to get porkified.
