Author: Sandra @ The Foodie Affair
Serves: 4 dozen
Ingredients
1 pound bacon, cooked until crispy, well drained, cooled and cut in small pieces
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
½ cup maple syrup (use real, not flavored)
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling
2 teaspoons maple extract
2 eggs
2¾ all purpose flour
1 12-ounce bag of milk chocolate chips
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.
p.s
No bacon for you? These cookies taste delicious without the bacon.
