That was easy... Winner #1

We have a winner in our first Free Bacon Giveaway! Reader 'Meg' was randomly selected from last week's contest to win a coupon good for a free package of Oscar Mayer's Super Thick Cut Applewood Smoked Bacon Lovers Bacon. Congratulations Meg!!!! You can be next.

When she heard she won she was good enough to share a recipe for the most awesome bacon cookies she has ever had. So we will share with everyone. Can't wait to try these.

Bacon Maple Cookies

  • 1 c. butter or margarine, softened
  • 3/4 c. brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 T + 1 t. maple syrup
  • 2 1/3 c. flour
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 1/2 – 1 lb. bacon, cooked, crumbled and well drained (drain for a couple of hours if possible, you don't want bacon GREASE cookies.)

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter or margarine, brown sugar and sugar until fluffy. Stir in eggs and maple extract or syrup. Beat for 1 more minute.

2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine and add in batches to mixing bowl. Beat just long enough to incorporate.

3. By hand, stir in the bacon pieces. Drop by tablespoons onto cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
