Round the resulting number to the nearest whole number. The rib is cooked at 500 F for exactly that many minutes.For example, for a 6 pound roast: 6 x 5=30, so cooking time is 30 minutes.

    BOURBON BACON CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES


    Whiskey and chocolate!
    Prep Time30 minutes
    Cook Time9 minutes
    Servings48 cookies

    INGREDIENTS

    • 12 ounces center-cut thick bacon, ½-inch diced
    •  cups all purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 1/2 cup reserved bacon fat, chilled
    • 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
    • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
    • 3 tablespoons Maker's Mark bourbon
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs
    • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • In a large skillet, cook the bacon until the bacon pieces are golden brown and crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Reserve the bacon fat in the pan. You'll need 1/2 cup of the bacon fat- spoon it into a 1/2 cup measuring cup and refrigerate it until it has solidified.
    • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, bacon fat, sugars, bourbon and vanilla. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Beat in the flour mixture. Then stir in the bacon and chocolate (hint: if you want your cookies to look really pretty, save a few bacon and chocolate pieces to add to the top of each cookie dough blob before baking). Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto parchment or silpat-lined baking sheets- about 2 inches apart. 
    • Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned. Let stand on the cookie sheets for about 5 minutes, then remove the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. 
    • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or store in a covered container or zip bag in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.

    NOTES

    • *Don't try to use turkey bacon for this recipe- ick.

    • 1/2 cup cream cheese room temperature

    • Thaw the frozen crust for 10 minutes, then prick the crust all over the bottom and sides with a fork to make tiny holes
    • Bake it for 10 minutes
    • Remove the crust and lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees
    • While the crust is hot, spread the cream cheese all over the bottom as evenly as possible
    • Sprinkle the diced jalapenos over the cream cheese (the rounds are for garnish later on)
    • Put the cream and half-and-half into a small pot and put it over medium heat about 5 minutes or until tiny bubbles appear around the edges. Scald (where you bring it to just under the boiling point) until very hot, but not boiling
