Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies with Maple Cinnamon Glaze.

[navygreen]

Yes, you read that right. And treehuggies? You might really want to skip this entire post, mmkay? ;-)

And here's a picture to prove that I really made them.



The idea was not mine originally. My super-cool friend a_rockett created these cookies a few weeks ago, and you can read more about her inspiration here. She also has more pictures (better ones!), and you can find her recipe at that link.

Believe it or not, these are surprisingly good. Everyone at Runza loved them today, and A.J. nearly flipped out as I was packing them to take, afraid that I wouldn't leave any at home for them (I kept aside just over a dozen).

Thanks so much for sharing, Andrea! :-)



After A.J. has taken a bite.


See the bacon bits inside?


Jack reaches for another one.


Yum!

Nicole I was doing my Christmas cards and going thru my address book...I only have your old address. What is your new?

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Here ya go. :-)

[billzy.livejournal.com]

OMG that must be so wrong!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

And yet it tastes so right. ;-)

[1grl-revolution.livejournal.com]

I've got to be honest, it's something I never would have considered putting together... but I take your word for it that it's good. :D

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Nah, don't take my word for it. Go make some!

[1grl-revolution.livejournal.com]

I could... *considers* I mean, my baking has improved somewhat lately...

[a-rockett.livejournal.com]

hehe.. YES! YES! YES! I am so glad you made these and posted about them. Every time I see someone make a post about them after having made them it makes me think I should do some sort of bacon cookie roundup for my blog, just because SO MANY people have made them and actually enjoyed their flavour.

I'm glad they were a hit!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

You should! And then we could all comment with a picture of our own cookies, too! :-)

[shoebox_addict]

Bacon cookies?? No, really...bacon?? It sounds oddly good...

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Try it!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Pfft. You can't be a nay-sayer until you actually try them. ;-)

[aiseiri-47.livejournal.com]

You know what -- I believe it. I can just imagine the salty bacon adding just the right touch to the flavour. And, they do have maple bacon and maple ham, after all.

It's sort of like how, although I never actually put them together in a recipe or anything, I like the taste of potato with chocolate chip cookies. :)

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

I can imagine potato and chocolate chip, too - now that you mention it...

[welfy.livejournal.com]

bacon and cookies?!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Yes ma'am!

[therealocelot.livejournal.com]

I'm tempted to try this tomorrow. Dairy and gluten free. That would be an interesting experiment :)

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

She mentioned in her blog post about vegan alternatives - I don't know about the dairy/gluten-free. I'm sure you can figure out a way. :-)

[rafferty.livejournal.com]

That sounds oddly tempting, especially with say a maple smoked bacon, mmmm!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's where the inspiration for the maple glaze came from, too.

[woodyinvincible.livejournal.com]

That's way too many ingredients.

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

I promise you, Chris - they're not bad.

[treehuggies.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the heads up :) They make veggie bacon, you know! Maybe we could try it..? heheh

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Let me if you do!

[allykatt.livejournal.com]

our favorite family cookies aren't quite as odd as those, but people still look at me funny when i tell them the ingredients. they're mostly normal chocolate chip cookies - but they also have corn flakes and oatmeal in them.
but they're SOOOOO YUMMY!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Oooh, those sound good, too! I make some with oatmeal, raisins, mini M&Ms, coconut and chocolate chips, and I love them. :-)

[jillerbob.livejournal.com]

OHHH those look soo good they look like those doughnuts they have at that bakery in Portland Voodoo Doughnuts

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

In Andrea's blog post, many people mentioned the Voodoo place in the comments, actually.

[jillerbob.livejournal.com]

really, thats cool that was the first thing that came to mind when i saw them. well that and YUM!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Everyone says they were pretty good. Let me know if you try 'em. :-)
