15. Cool cookies on pan or cooling rack

Here are a couple of hints if you make this Wendy’s Baconator Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. It is important not to put bacon on the bottom of the cookie. The cookie will get too mushy.

Second, do not over mix the dough. It can cause the cookie to have a poor texture.

Lastly, smaller pieces of bacon can be a nice touch. The smaller pieces of bacon can ensure that a little of the savory, salty goodness can be enjoyed in each bite.
