Maple Bacon Pancake Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

Step 2

Using a stand mixer or electric beaters, beat butter with both sugars. Add vanilla, maple extract and eggs; beat on low speed until just incorporated.

Step 3

Add dry ingredients and beat until well combined. Fold in bacon crumbles.

Step 4

Scoop dough into 16 very large dough balls and place on a cookie sheet. Suggest using an extra large cookie scoop that holds about 3 tablespoons of dough to make large cookies.

Step 5

Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes until cookies look puffy and just start to turn golden on top. Do not overbake!

Step 6

Take cookies out even if they look like they’re not 100% done yet, they will finish setting up as they cool.

Step 7

Let cookies cool on pan for a minimum of 10 minutes before moving them.
