What could be better than bacon in a cookie? Cookies on your grill! Yes you can! With the Grate Griddle you can easily bake on your grill. How about peanut butter and chocolate.

Ingredients

Servings

1 1/4 cup AP Flour

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons spicy BBQ rub OR 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/3 pound good quality thick cut bacon

4 tablespoons of unsalted butter- room temp

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 cup roasted peanuts- roughly chopped

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill on low to 350 degrees F. Coat Grate Griddle with non stick cooking spray. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and BBQ rub in a large bowl.

Step 2

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings and set aside to cool. Crumble the bacon.

Step 3

Beat the butter and reserved bacon drippings in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the peanut butter until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in the granulated and light brown sugar until creamy, about 4 minutes, then add the egg and almond extract and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 more minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 2 additions, scraping down the bowl as needed, until just combined. Stir in the peanuts and all but 2 tablespoons each of the chocolate chips and bacon.

Step 5

Form the dough into 12 balls and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared Grate Griddle. Flatten with your fingers (the cookies will not spread on the grill); press the reserved bacon and chocolate chips on top. Bake on grill until golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
