Maple Bacon Cookies

Oooh! I am so excited to share this fun maple bacon cookie recipe with you. It’s perfect for fall and I just know you will love it!

I don’t know what dinner is like at your house, but in our house things can get a bit crazy. Every once in a while I throw up my arms and we either settle on having pizza delivered or breakfast for dinner.

Truth be told, I am actually a huge fan of breakfast for dinner. Breakfast foods are my favorite. The other day while dreaming of ways to incorporate more breakfast food into my life, I decided to come up with a breakfast cookie and maple bacon cookies were born…

These maple bacon cookies consist of a nice soft cake cookie, topped with a thin maple glaze and crumbled bacon. It’s like a full breakfast in every bite!

In addition to the delicious taste, these little bites of yum are super-easy to make.

Ingredients:
1 yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/4  c. softened butter

3 c. confectioners sugar
1/4 tsp. maple extract
1/2 c. milk

bacon

Directions:
Prepare crunchy bacon bits (I used three large strips of bacon cut down into small pieces).

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/4 softened butter. Roll dough into one inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

While cookies are baking in the oven, mix confectioners sugar, maple extract and milk until sugar has dissolved.

Drizzle maple glaze over cookies and top with crumbled bacon.

Your mouth will thank you…

What do you think, could you stomach cookies for breakfast? They’d be a bit much for me, but I sure liked them as a mid-Saturday snack.
