Instructions for Grilled Bacon Cookies

1. Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk well and set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
3. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients.
4. Fold in semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate chips, followed by the chopped bacon.
5. Cover the batter and refrigerate while preheating your grill to 350-400°F for indirect cooking.
6. Soak wood planks in water for 30 minutes, shake off excess, and place smooth side down on the grill for 3-5 minutes.
7. Scoop dough (2 tsp to 1 tbsp per cookie) onto the planks. Careful—they’re hot!
8. Place planks in the grill’s center. Rotate after 5-8 minutes for even cooking.
9. After 10 minutes, move planks over the flame for 30 seconds for a smoky finish.
