These taste better than this picture would appear. I made these for Tim to take on a guys golf trip and we were snapping a picture in the predawn hours before he left. They were a hit with the golfers and will be added to my regular cookie rotation!
Milk Chocolate Chip Maple Syrup Glazed Bacon Cookies
Recipe Courtesy of Nadia G
- 12 bacon slices, minced
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
BATTER:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, large dice
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup raw sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups quality milk chocolate, in chip-sized chunks
- Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Directions
Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
For the bacon: In a medium frying pan, saute the bacon until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp. Drain the fat from the pan, add the maple syrup and stir to blend. Saute until the maple syrup becomes thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer immediately to a small bowl and let cool.
For the batter: With a standing or handheld mixer, blend the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and beat until well blended, 1 minute. Add the vanilla and beat for 30 seconds more. Stir in the flour and baking soda with a wooden spoon. Add the bacon and chocolate and stir to combine. Scoop heaping teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake until golden around the edges, 9 to 10 minutes.
Let the cookies cool for 1 minute, and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Wow - that is one decadent cookie! And I've been there with trying to take photos at the "wrong" time of day.
ReplyDeleteThey sound good, I like the little sprinkle of salt at the end too:@)
ReplyDeleteI just bought some bacon for BLTs but I may have to save some to make these cookies! They sound really good and yes, everything is better with bacon ;)
ReplyDeleteOh man, do these sound amazing. There's just something about maple, bacon, and Fall, then throw in some chocolate and you've got a winner. I'm thinking these would really rock with a roasted marshmallow tucked between a pair!!!!
