Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the butter mixture, and mix until well-combined.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips and chopped cooked bacon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, placing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and smoky flavors!
