Instructions

NOTE: Before starting, cook bacon. Lay 4 thick slices of bacon on a small baking sheet lined with foil. Top with 1/3 cup brown sugar. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on piece of foil. Cut into small pieces when cooled and set aside for cookies.
In mixer, beat butter with brown sugar for 4 minutes. Add salt, eggs and maple extract. Slowly add in flour, baking soda and baking powder. Fold in bacon and chocolate chips.
Scoop by large tablespoons onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Allow to sit on pan 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to soften the butter. This allows it to mix evenly into the dough.
For even more maple flavor, you can use maple bacon instead of regular here. If you do that, you won’t need to add any brown sugar on top before baking.
The chocolate chips are optional. Feel free to leave them out if you’re not in the mood for chocolate (unfathomable to me).
Store these cookies in an airtight container and enjoy within 3 -4 days.
