You can’t get more classic than chocolate chip cookies. But while the traditional chocolate chip is absolutely delicious, why settle for something that’s been done so many times before? In this recipe, as with most chocolate chip cookie recipes, the cookies are extraordinarily sweet. The presence of small chunks of bacon cuts some of that sweetness with a little salt, creating an absolutely perfect sweet and salty bite. But, the best thing about these treats is that they can achieve all of this flavor without any gluten or dairy.
