Baking

Maple Bacon Cookies

Yes, you read that right….Maple Bacon Cookies!

Two ingredients that just speak to Canadians are maple syrup and bacon!

After hearing about so many sweet goodies made with bacon, and being a lover of that sweet and salty combination I decided to try adding bacon to a simple maple cookie recipe.  I was so lucky to be gifted two bottles of pure maple syrup recently and was happy to put it to good use!

The crispy bacon adds a nice texture and bit of a crunch to this otherwise soft, chewy cookie

This recipe makes a huge batch.  I had enough to send to work with Tim, and some left over to take to our Bible study group.

Even put a few aside for my sister…..who always stops by after all the baking has left the house!

This will make a nice addition to our Canada Day barbecue, not to mention a summer picnic or potluck.  This is sturdy cookie that pack well without crumbling or falling apart if packed with a bit of care.

What is your favorite recipe to bake with bacon?!

Enjoy.
