Martha Stewart shared a cookie recipe that incorporated bacon, potato chips, and dark chocolate.
Stewart said she was inspired by "kitchen sink" cookies, which often contain "unexpected" ingredients.
I loved the cookies' balance of salty and sweet - and I had almost all the ingredients already in my pantry.

I started by cooking the bacon so it was nice and crispy.

Then, I started chopping the bacon, which Stewart said will go in the batter and on top of the cookies.

Next, it was time to mix the dry ingredients to create the dough's base.

Then came the fun part: adding in the bacon and chips.

I rolled the cookie dough into medium- to large-sized balls on two baking sheets and popped them in the oven for less than 20 minutes.

As the cookies were baking, they filled my tiny New York City apartment with the aroma of a five-star bakery. Now, I don't think I'll ever go back to plain chocolate chip.
