You Had Me At Bacon (Bacon Double Chocolate Chip Cookies)

There was a Bake Sale Fundraiser at work this week to raise money for the March of Dimes.  I was in the mood for a chewy, chocolatey cookie (with bacon, of course) so I made this batch of cookies that has a box of cake mix in it (recipe below).  Within 30 minutes of the sale opening, the 4 Dozen cookies I brought in, were gone.  Never Underestimate the Power of Bacon!

Beat half of the cake mix with the butter, vanilla and eggs until smooth. Add remaining cake mix, the chopped bacon and the chocolate chips. Stir well.
