MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Pork, Nuts Yield: 12 Servings 3/4 c Butter 2/3 c Brown sugar; packed 2/3 c Granulated sugar 1 ts Hazelnut extract 1/2 ts Vanilla extract 1 lg Egg 2 1/2 c Flour 1 ts Baking soda 1 ts Salt 1 c White chocolate chips 1 c Dark or semi-sweet chocolate - chips 2 c Bacon crumbles; REAL bacon - only - NOT BACOS MMMMM--------------------MAPLE CINNAMON GLAZE------------------------- 2 c Powdered sugar 1 tb Maple extract 1 ts Vanilla extract 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon Water to make a thick glaze The best flavors of breakfast together in a cookie: chocolate chip with generous bits of bacon and a bonus (optional) maple glaze. Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Beat together the butter, sugars, flavoring and eggs until creamy. In another bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mix and stir together. Dough will be slightly soft. If you want a cakier cookie, add another half cup of flour. Add in chocolate chips and bacon bits. Stir until well integrated. Place dough on a sheet of waxed paper and refrigerate at least an hour. Remove dough from fridge, pinch off 1 1/2" pieces of dough and roll into balls. Set dough balls about 2" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten dough balls slightly with your fingers in the center. Bake cookies for about 10 minutes, or until the dough starts to turn golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on a cooling rack. NOTE: It takes about 2 lbs of bacon to make 2 cups of bacon bits, just for future reference. Just be sure to pat the bacon to remove all the extra grease. MAKE THE OPTIONAL GLAZE: Mix all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If lumpy, use a whisk. Spread a small amount of the glaze on the top of each cookie.
