The instructions

1. First, add the baking soda, salt, and flour and mix them together. Use a good whisk to mix everything together well! Just set this bowl aside for now.
2. Put the unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a different bowl. Get creative! Mix this stuff together well for a few minutes!
3. After you’ve creamed the butter and sugar together, go ahead and add the eggs one at a time, mixing in that lovely vanilla extract too! Now, let’s sprinkle in those dry ingredients gradually, just a little at a time.
4. Continue blending until everything comes together smoothly! Next, toss in those semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate chips! And now, let’s toss in those pre-cooked and chopped bacon bits! We decided to use our delicious candied bacon from a different recipe.
5. When plank grilling, cover your batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you warm the grill. You can also place those cookies in a regular oven, warmed to 350°F.
6. Get your grill ready for some indirect cooking and warm it up to around 350-400°F.
7. Grab your planks from the water and give them a little shake to remove any excess water! On the grill, put the smooth cooking side down! Let’s warm up those planks with the hood down for about 3 to 5 minutes!
8. Just scoop out each cookie right onto the planks, using around 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon for each one. Just a heads up: be super careful with those planks—they’re really hot!
9. Just pop those planks in the middle of the grill! After about 5 to 8 minutes, go ahead and switch up the position of the planks!
10. In about 10 minutes, they should be just about ready to go! We love to pop those planks right over the flame for around 30 seconds, just to give our dish a fun little smoky kick and a touch of fire to the flavor.
11. Right now, it’s super important to keep an eye on your grill and steer clear of any distractions! If any flare-ups occur, just give the planks a quick spritz of water!
12. Hey there! The cookies are all set and ready to enjoy! Just pull them off the grill and let them chill for a moment.
13. Jump right in and enjoy every moment!
