Directions

Ingredients

3⁄4 cup Butter
2⁄3 cup Packed Brown Sugar
2⁄3 cup Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Hazelnut Extract, or almond extract
1⁄2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 Eggs

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugars, extracts and eggs until creamy.

Ingredients

2 1⁄2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1⁄2 teaspoon Salt

Step 2

In another bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir together.

Ingredients

1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips, or semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup White Chocolate Chips
2 pounds Bacon, cooked, crumbled (about 2 cups)

Step 3

Dough will be slightly soft. If you want a more cakelike cookie, add another 1/2 cup of flour. Mix in chocolate chips and crumbled bacon. Stir until well integrated.

Step 4

Place dough on a sheet of wax paper and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 6

Remove dough from fridge. Pinch off 1 ½ -inch pieces and roll into balls. Set dough balls about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten dough balls in the center slightly with your fingers. Bake 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.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, for maple glaze
1 tablespoon Maple Extract, for maple glaze
1⁄2 teaspoon Cinnamon, for maple glaze
2 cups Powdered Sugar

Step 7

Maple-Cinnamon Glaze: Mix 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon maple extract, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon cinnamon with enough water to make a thick glaze, about 3 tablespoons. Mix all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If lumpy, use a whisk.

Step 8

Spread a small amount of glaze on top of each cookie and top with a small piece (1 to 1 ½ inches) of crisp bacon.
