BACON COOKIES!!!
OK, I'm not ready to give up on the chocolate chips but I'd make these. Though I'd be sure to use the real BACON!
Bacon, Cereal, and Orange Juice Breakfast Cookies
- makes 12 big cookies -
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons thawed frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 strips bacon or v****e bacon, cooked very crisp, drained and crumbled (I used v****e bacon and it worked just fine)
1/2 cup Grape-Nuts
Procedure
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg, orange juice concentrate and peel, until light and fluffy. Add flour and baking powder, beating until well blended.
3. Stir in bacon and cereal, stirring only until incorporated.
4. Using an ice cream scoop (I used a big one), drop 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
5. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove cookies from sheets while still warm and cool on racks.

Could go either way.

7. While I confess a certain fascination along with the sensation of smoky grease caught in the back of my throat on reading this one, I wonder if bacon scones might actually be good.

14. DANGER DANGER
I have entered carb overload....
I got Thirteen really large cookies from this batch. I'm working on my second one while they are still warm. They are FRICKEN delicious. Orangy and crunchy and soft and chewie all at the same time. Strong Butter undertones with a hit of yummy salty bacon in every bite. If you like the sweet and salty thing...This one is a keeper.
May as well just eat a box of this..

I think that company could have benefitted from a marketing study :thatsright:
Those sound incredible! I am going to make them.

Agree. Remember the Homer Simpson Rule:
"There's no food that cannot be improved by adding bacon bits and melted cheese."
