Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugars. Mix on high for 5 minutes until creamy.

Add the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter to the mixture.

Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to maintain the desired texture.

Gently fold in the chopped cooked bacon.

Use an ice cream scoop to portion out equal-sized cookies on the prepared sheets.

Using a fork, press down gently in a criss-cross direction on each cookie.

Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges turn slightly golden brown.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
