Description
Deliciously unique cookies that combine the sweet flavors of maple with savory bacon, offering a delightful twist on traditional pancakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 strips bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer or electric beaters, beat butter with both sugars. Add vanilla, maple extract, and eggs; beat on low speed until just incorporated.
- Add dry ingredients and beat until well combined. Fold in bacon crumbles.
- Scoop dough into 16 very large dough balls and place on a cookie sheet. Suggest using an extra large cookie scoop that holds about 3 tablespoons of dough to make large cookies.
- Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes until cookies look puffy and just start to turn golden on top. Do not overbake!
- Take cookies out even if they look like they’re not 100% done yet; they will finish setting up as they cool.
- Let cookies cool on the pan for a minimum of 10 minutes before moving them.
Notes
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
- Make sure bacon is crispy to avoid soggy cookies.
