Maple BACON Chip

350 F Oven - bake 10 to 12 Minutes

 

Yes, real bacon goes into these cookies

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter, room temperature

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon maple extract

1/3 cup chopped cooked bacon (took 15 slices crisply cooked)

1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (we subbed semi-sweet, I think bittersweet would be better)

1. Preheat oven to 350F

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.

2. Beat together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar with mixer until smooth.

Add one egg; beat until blended into butter mix - add remaing egg, vanilla and maple extract.

Beat until well blended and slightly fluffy.

Stir in the flour mixture a little at a time, mix just until combined.

Stir in the bacon and chocolate chips.

Scoop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.

3. Bake in the preheated oven until edges turn golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove from the oven, and cool on a wire rack.
