And by "butter" you mean bacon grease cooled to a solid, right?

Thanks, Doc! I fixed the recipe. The grease does not necessarily need to be completely solid, as in refrigerated. Just blend the grease and the sugar so that the sugar mixes well in the grease.

I'll be honest, I read this one and think :eh: I'll need to try it simply out of curiosity.

Psst... Ya know what makes them even better? Shhh, don't tell anyone.

Make a partial recipe of Chocolate Buttercream Frosting but change the 1/2 cup of shortening to 1/4 cup of shortening and 1/4 cup of bacon grease. Use the frosting to ice the cookies.

Oh my, those are good. :drool: :faint:
