BACON-BUTTERSCOTCH CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a cookie sheet with Silpat (or other silicone mat), parchment paper will also work.
• Whisk together flour, baking soda and baking powder & salt, set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown & white sugar till smooth. Add 1 egg, beat till blended, then add the last egg, and vanilla extract.
• Slowly add the flour mixture, a little at a time, till it's mixed well. Stir in bacon and butterscotch chips.
• Drop by tablespoons onto cookie sheets.
• Bake in oven for about 10 - 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes on the sheet then move to a wire rack.

BACON CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Lay the bacon flat in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, preferable one with handles, and transfer to a cold oven. Set the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and bake the bacon until crisp, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• While the bacon cooks, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Place the butter in a large heatproof bowl. Line a plate with paper towels and set a fine-mesh sieve over a heatproof liquid measuring cup.
• Once the bacon is crisp, immediately transfer it to the prepared plate. Carefully tilt the baking dish and scoop or pour the hot bacon fat through the strainer into the measuring cup.
• Pour 1/4 cup of the hot fat over the butter; save any additional fat for another use and discard the solids in the strainer. (If you don't have enough bacon fat to yield 1/4 cup then make up the difference with melted butter.) Let the fat and butter sit for 1 minute, to slightly melt the cubed butter.
• Cream the bacon fat and butter together with a handheld electric mixer on medium speed until slightly aerated (the mixture should still be quite loose and resemble the consistency of mayonnaise), about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar and molasses. Mix on medium speed until lightened in color, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla, mixing on low speed until incorporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until the dough is about three-quarters of the way mixed, about 1 minute. The dough will still be chunky with streaks of flour.
• Roughly chop 6 slices of the bacon to yield 1/2 cup. Add the chopped bacon and chocolate chips to the dough. Fold in with a rubber spatula, incorporating the streaks of flour and evenly distributing the bacon and chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough 30 minutes to 4 hours.
• While the dough chills, chop the remaining 3 slices of bacon into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces.
• When ready to bake the cookies, position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Scoop half of the dough into scant 2-tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake on the upper and lower oven racks for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and press 1 piece of the remaining bacon into the top of each cookie. Rotate the baking sheets and bake until the cookies are light golden and just set around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack. You can let them cool completely but I recommend eating them warm!
• Repeat the scooping, baking and cooling with the remaining cookie dough after the baking sheets have cooled completely. Or freeze the scooped dough to bake later (see Cook's Note).

BACON CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• An important note- Be sure to use real bacon bits, not Bacos *See large print at the bottom of this post*.
• Also, you can make your own bacon bits, just make sure you pat down the bacon chunks with paper towels to remove as much extra bacon grease as possible.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
• Beat together the butter, sugars, flavouring and eggs until creamy.
• In another bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.
• Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture 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 inch pieces of dough and roll into balls.
• Set dough balls about 2 inches 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 while you make the glaze.
• Maple cinnamon glaze Reipe.
• 2 cups powdered sugar.
• 1 tablespoon maple extract.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (It has been suggested that 1 teaspoon may be a bit much, so go ahead and add to taste).
• Enough water to make a thick 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 and top with a small piece of crisp cooked bacon.
