Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 strips bacon (thinner bacon cut is recommended for crispiness)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
2.Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings and set aside to cool. Crumble the bacon.
3. Beat the butter and reserved bacon drippings in a large bowl with a mixer on until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the granulated and light brown sugar until creamy, about 4 minutes, then add the egg and bourbon and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
4. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions, scraping down the bowl as needed, until just combined. Stir in bacon and chocolate chips. Form the dough into 1″ balls and arrange 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
5. Bake for about 8-10 minutes.

Fascinating mix of flavors there!
And lo, and behold, I have found a solution to my dilemma, what to bring to the company BBQ tomorrow? I am going to be one jealous onlooker as my co-workers devour these cookies. How can this go wrong? Bourbon, bacon and chocolate are the cure for anything that ails you!
This recipe is adapted from whiskeydisks.com not whiskey dicks though that did get my attention and also a chuckle. At least the link is accurate.
I'm going to try this with the smoked bacon bourbon I made this week. Thanks for the recipe.
@Vera: I swear you won't regret it!

Thanks for the recipe, it sounds really good.
What can I use if I do not have Bourbon? Thanks!
Any kind of whiskey will work for this recipe. The quality doesn't matter for cooking, so if you don't have any whiskey, you can just buy a small bottle of the cheap stuff. Good luck!
