Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup brown sugar packed
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 egg white(s) large
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
3/4 cup bacon crispy and crumbled
1/2 cup pretzels broken into pieces
1/2 cup white chocolate chips optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with the parchment paper or place your cooking mat down. Cook the bacon for about 18 - 20 minutes, or until the desired crispness. Then you're going to remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to let the bacon grease drain.
Combine sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium size bowl; set aside.
Cream butter until peaks form. After that you'll add the brown sugar, and combine until JUST mixed together.
Add eggs whites and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips (the white are optional).
Add 1/3 of the flour mixture at a time until it is all incorporated into the cookie dough. Stir until just combined.
Make sure you drained the bacon well so you don't get extra bacon fat in the cookies. Crumble the bacon into pieces. Add the bacon pieces and stir.
Evenly divide cookie dough into two discs and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 60 minutes.
Remove cookie dough from refrigerator and make 2T balls. Roll dough in the palm of your hand into a ball and place on cookie sheet.
Turn oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and, while cookies are still hot, insert broken pretzel pieces into cookies. Allow to cool completely before serving.
