These maple bacon chocolate chip cookies are so good y’all. Mainly because they combine 2 wonderfully delicious things!

Bacon and chocolate!!

Yep, I’ve done it again. ;) Just like my delish maple bacon biscotti.

So, so good.

I start out by making a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe …

….whipping the butter and sugar together.

Adding the eggs….

Then it gets interesting. ;)

I chop uncooked bacon into small pieces and deep fry them in canola oil so they are nice and crisp.
I add that along with maple syrup and maple flavor to my dough. (and the chocolate chips, of course!)

Yummy goodness. :)
