Who doesn’t love BACON!? I somehow had to come up with a way to incorporate bacon into my holiday treats and I came up with Maple Bacon Cookies. It has taken me a while to jump on the “add bacon to everything” bandwagon, but the time has come!! So here are the Maple Bacon Cookies! I had a pound of bacon and thought hmm… cookies.. maple… BACON! I just took the toll house chocolate chip cookie recipe and altered it a bit by using maple extract and bacon instead of vanilla and chocolate. They are pretty dang delicious. First cook up your bacon.
Cook it until crisp and cut it up into pieces. Don’t use the super fatty pieces, I cut those off and tossed them.
Then whip up your dough for the cookies and add in the bacon.
Scoop onto a cookie sheet and sprinkle with sea salt. Almost to Maple Bacon Cookie goodness.
Bake for 9 minutes and enjoy!
