Directions: Place oven rack in the middle of oven, and preheat to 375 degrees. In a large skillet over low heat, cook bacon until crisp, but not burned, turning often. Drain on paper towels, roughly chop bacon to approximately 1/4 inch, and set aside. In a medium saucepan over low heat, heat 10 tablespoons of butter over low heat, swirling and stirring often, until butter is a warm golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat, add remaining butter, and allow to melt. In a large mixing bowl or in bowl of standing mixer, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. Slowly incorporated melted butter, and stir until all sugar crystals have melted. Batter should be smooth and shiny. Add flour and baking soda, and stir until no pockets of flour remain. Add chocolate chips, grated chocolate, and crumbled bacon. Stir until combined, but don’t overwork the batter. Working in batches, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and place heaping teaspoon-sized dollops of batter onto baking sheet. Bake until edges are golden but middle is not quite set, about 11-14 minutes. Transfer cookies to cooling rack, and allow to cool completely.
