Chocolate & Butterscotch Chip Cookies with Bacon

What is the correlation between geeks and bacon? Other than the fact that geeks & bacon are both amazingly awesome. ;) Was there a geek convention where they all agreed to lay claim to one of the most delicious foods ever made? If so, they totally scored – if not, well… they totally scored anyway.

My husband is a total geek – but I love that about him. His love for bacon? It’s unmatched – he appreciates all that bacon has to offer.

These cookies were made for my geek, with love.

If you know someone who loves bacon , geek or not, surprise them with these cookies – they won’t disappoint!
