- In a standing mixer, beat butter until smooth. Add sugars and beat on medium speed for three minutes.
- Add eggs, bourbon and vanilla and beat well.
- In a bowl, combine flour, oats and baking soda. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well combined. Add in toffee pieces, chocolate chips, marshmallows, pecans and bacon.
- Spoon 3 tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until they start to turn light brown. Remove from oven and cool on rack.
