Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (125 milliliters) bacon fat
• 1/2 cup (125 milliliters) peanut butter
• 1 cup (250 milliliters) light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 cups (375 milliliters) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch salt
• Granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).2. In a large bowl with a stand mixer or an electric mixer, beat the bacon fat, peanut butter, and sugar until the mixture lightens in color and the texture becomes creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and keep beating until completely incorporated. 3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. 4. Slowly add the flour to the peanut butter mixture, beating until all the ingredients are combined well. Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch (2 1/2 centimeters) in diameter. Place the cookie dough about 1 inch (2 1/2 centimeters) apart on a baking sheet and gently press the top of each cookie dough ball with a fork dipped in granulated sugar to make criss crosses.5. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until barely browned around the edges. The cookies may look a little underdone and may appear slightly puffed and that’s okay. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes and then gently transfer the tender, delicate cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. [Editor’s Note: Hah. As if you could resist the aroma of these little lovelies for that long!]
