Bacon-Maple Sugar Cookies. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Maple Bacon Cookies start with a brown sugar-sweetened dough spiked with pure maple syrup, vanilla extract and maple extract. Tiny bits of maple-caramelized bacon are then folded in, providing a salty counter to the sweet dough. These cookies are like a warm blanket wrapped around you on a cool autumn evening. In these maple cookies, the salty component comes in the form of BACON!

The smokiness of the bacon, combined with the brown sugar and the chocolate chips and the maple flavor. . . .

Maple Cookies With the scraps of dough and the leftover glaze, I used my mini maple leaf cutter and made mini sandwich cookies - cut thin with the icing in between. The big ones I blinged up with edible gold paint, gold sanding sugar, and big gold confetti. Beat together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add one egg; beat until blended into the butter mixture.
