Maple-Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

I too can only give this a 4 because iof the modifications that needed to be made to the recipe, but these are good cookies. Very easy to make. I did add an additional 1/2 C of flour and upped the bacon to 1/2C as well. Next time I would leave the bacon in larger crumbles because the bacon flavor really didn't shine through. I refrigerated the dough for about 20 minutes then rolled it into 1 inch balls and placed 12 balls on the cookie sheet at a time and baked them for 13 mins. They came out perfectly round and uniform and it yielded 4.5 dozen cookies. I will be making this recipe again!!

I thought these were absolutely delicious. My husband and son just gobbled them up. I think even when I want plain ol' chocolate chips recipe I will just omit the bacon, that's how much I love the flavor! Some cookies had bacon, some didn't, but I really did enjoy the flavor surprise. No complaints here!

These are good as a novelty cookie. The maple extract added a very nice aroma. Although I followed the recipe to the letter, the cookies spread more than my normal recipe for chocolate chip cookies, so I made the rest of the cookies smaller after the first batch was done. I chopped the bacon into bacon bit size. You really could not taste the bacon in the final product.

Okay, let me first say that the only real issue I had with this recipe didn't involve the bacon! :) It was something like eating a chocolate chip pancake with syrup and a side of bacon. I wasn't put off by it, at all. Just make sure to cook the bacon crisp, crumble and drain well. However, I had to add more flour to this recipe. There isn't a high enough chip/dough ratio as written, to help hold the dough(only I used a mix of white and milk chocolate chips) and my first batch spread so much they LOOKED like the aforementioned pancakes. :) So, I just added another 1/4 cup flour, remixed and refrigerated it for a bit. The rest of the cookies were fine. Even though, as written, these just weren't the right consistency, I'm still giving it a 4 because the flavor which, to be honest, is likely what most folks will question, was good. A very rich cookie with a fun "don't tell them" ingredient. :)
