Servings: persons

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar (can be reduced to 2/3 cup for less sweet cookies)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kentucky strait bourbon
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 lb bacon, cooked and broken into small bits
1/2 lb fine dark chocolate

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
2
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3
Beat together butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and bourbon in a large bowl with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer at moderately high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat well. Add flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined.
4
Quarter dough and roll 1 piece 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Using a cookie cutter, carefully cut and place cookies on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them no more than 1 inch apart. Form more cookies with remaining dough in the same manner. If you do not have a cookie cutter you can form dough into 1 1/2-inch balls, then flatten to 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Finally, sprinkle bacon bits over the cookies and press them lightly to ensure that the bacon pieces stick.
5
Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool.
6
Melt chocolate in a double-boiler over low heat. With a fork, lower cooled cookies into chocolate so that the bottom is covered and then transfer to wax paper lined cookie sheets. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens, store in an airtight container.
