Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 ½ ounce unsweetened baking chocolate *see note
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoon scotch see note*
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 leftover ruled.me candied bacon slices

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, erythritol, and baking powder.
  • Mix this well until everything is combined.
  • Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl. Cream it well with a hand mixer.
  • Add the egg, scotch, and vanilla extract, then cream together again.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients. Mix it well until everything is combined, making a creamy looking dough.
  • Cut the baking chocolate up into chocolate chip sized chunks, then add a little more than half to the cookie dough. Set aside the remainder for the ganache.
  • Fold it in well, making sure you don't break up the chocolate. I use these silicone spatulas, which are nonstick and also make for fantastic scrambled eggs.
  • Grab the candied bacon. We'll be using 1/3 of the slices to go in the cookies. (The 2/3 will be used later) At least 1/2 of the 1/3 will go in whole, just chop it up. With the other half of the 1/3, trim the fat off of the bacon and only use the meat, adding it it to the dough and folding it in well.
  • Spread the mixture onto some plastic wrap and cover it. Put the dough in the freezer for 30 minutes. Once the 30 minutes has passed, preheat the oven to 325F.
  • Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inches. Tear small pieces of the dough off and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silpat, about 1 inch apart.
  • Use the palm of your hand to flatten the dough balls into cookies. Put them in the oven for 20-22 minutes.
  • Chop the remaining candied bacon into small pieces. Double boil the remaining chocolate pieces on the stove. Add cream to make it into a ganache, then dip the bacon bits into it. Rest the bacon pieces on a piece of foil to cool.
  • Once the cookies are done baking, let them cool for 5 minutes.
  • Drizzle the chocolate ganache onto the cookies. The pattern doesn’t matter here, just pretend like you’re painting abstract art!
  • Add the bacon pieces to the top of each cookie and continue to let cool for 5 more minutes. Transfer cookies to a container, separating each layer with waxed paper.
  • Serve and enjoy!
