Maple Bacon Cookies

November 18, 2012 By admin 2 comments

Welcome! Are you a subscriber? Click here to receive my weekly newsletter. Thanks for visiting!

I never really set out to make  revolutionary cookies. Really. I just make what I like, pretty or not.

I had a craving for my favorite maple syrup after attending a brunch hosted by the Maple Man himself, Tim Burton. 5 courses, including specialty cocktails all made featuring his maple syrup as the main ingredient.  It was inspiring.

That night I came home and put together one of the easiest and most flavorful cookies I have made in a long time.  I also whipped up a nice maple glaze for these. It may surprise you to know that I actually prefer these without the glaze, but the rest of the family liked the glaze.  I just wanted the cookie in its simple state.

The procedure for this recipe is simple. There is the extra step of baking the bacon, but really-it’s worth it. Stove top cooking of the bacon is just not good enough here;)

I used an uncured, thick-cut  real bacon and real Indiana Maple Syrup for this. You can use what you want, but I cannot guarantee they will be as fantastic as these!

    Heather, I've always liked pancakes with bacon (especially when the syrup runs over into the bacon...) -- but COOKIES with maple & bacon?! Oh heavens yes!!!

    P.S. I love "simple" foods, too, but your glaze sounds too good to resist!
