Bacon, Peanut Butter And Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Sift it onto a large sheet of wax or parchment paper to make pouring it into the mixing bowl more convenient.
Beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth.
Add the sugar and brown sugar, and continue to beat until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the peanut butter until fully incorporated.
Beat in the egg and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in the flour mixture in 2 additions, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Stir in the peanuts, chocolate chunks, and bacon.
Pour some granulated sugar in a small bowl.
Shape the cookie dough into 1½-inch balls.
Roll the balls in sugar and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Flatten the cookies with the tines of a fork dipped in cold water to form a crisscross pattern.
Bake the cookies until they are golden brown, 12-14 minutes.
For best results, rotate the pans front to back and top to bottom halfway through cooking.
Cool the cookies for 2 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
