Breakfast (Bacon) Cookies Recipe

After all of the cookies that Seth took to work with him, one of his co-workers decided that the only cookie missing was one with bacon. I thought Seth was crazy until he actually e-mailed this recipe, and asked me to make them. Raisins, multi grain flakes, and, of course, bacon are mixed into a standard cookie dough to create a sweet and savory cookie. It’s a very strange combination, but it has a lot of components of breakfast, hence the name breakfast cookies. I cooked the bacon in the microwave, which I find it the least messy cooking method. I used 6 slices of thick bacon, and ended up cooking them for 10 minutes to get them really crisp. After stirring the dough together, I used my cookie scooper to place the cookies on cookie sheets, and then baked them 10 or 11 minutes, just until the edges of the cookies were brown. I then transferred the cookies to wire racks and let them cool. Although I’m not a huge fan of bacon, I was very curious about these cookies. After tasting one (or two), I have to admit, they are really good. They are crisp from the flakes, but still a little bit chewy. And while the bacon flavor definitely comes through, it’s not the dominate flavor. The raisins give the cookies a little sweetness, which balances the saltiness. It’s a unusual cookie, but, as Seth tells me, everything is better with bacon! I just like an excuse to eat cookies for breakfast.
