How to Make Bacon Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup for 1 minute.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 4 ounces cooked and crumbled bacon (approximately 6-8 slices, see notes for preparation).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Watch closely during the last few minutes, as they brown quickly!
  9. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
