Milk Chocolate Maple Bacon Cookies
Milk Chocolate Maple Bacon Cookies combine crispy bacon pieces with rich milk chocolate chips and a maple-infused cookie dough. The mixture yields cookies with a balance of sweet and savory flavors, enhanced by a sprinkle of sea salt and brown sugar on top. These cookies offer a soft yet slightly crisp texture and carry a distinct maple aroma from the syrup and extract, complemented by the smoky bacon bites for an unusual but pleasant cookie experience.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Bacon cooked until crispy, well drained, cooled and cut in small pieces
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks unsalted, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar plus extra for sprinkling, packed
- 1/2 cup maple syrup use real, not flavored
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt plus extra for sprinkling, sea salt
- 2 teaspoons maple extract
- 2 egg
- 2 3/4 all-purpose flour
- 1 12- ounce milk chocolate chips bag
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, baking soda, salt, and maple extract until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time.
- Mix in flour until well blended. Add chocolate chips and bacon. Using a one inch cookie scoop, scoop batter on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle tops lightly with sea salt and brown sugar. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before transferring to a cooking rack.
Notes
- Cookies without bacon still taste good for those who prefer a sweeter, non-savory version.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to retain their texture and freshness.
