Breakfast Cookies With Bacon Recipes

BREAKFAST COOKIES WITH BACON

Steps:

• cook bacon till crisp - then break into small pieces.
• Beat together butter and sugar till fluffy, beat in egg, combine dry ingredients and mix into butter mixture.
• Add bacon, corn flakes, and raisins and stir in by hand.
• Drop by teaspoonful onto UNgreased cookie sheet 2" apart.
• Bake 350 for 15 minutes. Cool 1 minutes, move to rack.

BACON CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Lay the bacon flat in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, preferable one with handles, and transfer to a cold oven. Set the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and bake the bacon until crisp, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• While the bacon cooks, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Place the butter in a large heatproof bowl. Line a plate with paper towels and set a fine-mesh sieve over a heatproof liquid measuring cup.
• Once the bacon is crisp, immediately transfer it to the prepared plate. Carefully tilt the baking dish and scoop or pour the hot bacon fat through the strainer into the measuring cup.
• Pour 1/4 cup of the hot fat over the butter; save any additional fat for another use and discard the solids in the strainer. (If you don't have enough bacon fat to yield 1/4 cup then make up the difference with melted butter.) Let the fat and butter sit for 1 minute, to slightly melt the cubed butter.
• Cream the bacon fat and butter together with a handheld electric mixer on medium speed until slightly aerated (the mixture should still be quite loose and resemble the consistency of mayonnaise), about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar and molasses. Mix on medium speed until lightened in color, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla, mixing on low speed until incorporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until the dough is about three-quarters of the way mixed, about 1 minute. The dough will still be chunky with streaks of flour.
• Roughly chop 6 slices of the bacon to yield 1/2 cup. Add the chopped bacon and chocolate chips to the dough. Fold in with a rubber spatula, incorporating the streaks of flour and evenly distributing the bacon and chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough 30 minutes to 4 hours.
• While the dough chills, chop the remaining 3 slices of bacon into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces.
• When ready to bake the cookies, position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Scoop half of the dough into scant 2-tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake on the upper and lower oven racks for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and press 1 piece of the remaining bacon into the top of each cookie. Rotate the baking sheets and bake until the cookies are light golden and just set around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack. You can let them cool completely but I recommend eating them warm!
• Repeat the scooping, baking and cooling with the remaining cookie dough after the baking sheets have cooled completely. Or freeze the scooped dough to bake later (see Cook's Note).

BREAKFAST SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Add the butter and cream cheese to a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the bowl and add the egg and beat again until combined.
• In a separate medium bowl, add the flour, chives, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat to combine. Fold the cheese and bacon in by hand.
• Spoon a 2 tablespoon sized ball onto the prepared baking sheet and gently press to slightly flatten. Sprinkle on a pinch of pepper. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Bake until lightly golden, about 25 minutes. Serve with room temperature butter and jam if desired.

BACON OATMEAL BREAKFAST COOKIES WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. When cool, chop the bacon, and set aside.
• Beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large mixing bowl until fluffy with an electric mixer on medium speed, then mix in egg, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl, and stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Gradually stir in the oats and bacon, about 1/3 cup of oats at a time, and cover the dough. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Thoroughly grease baking sheets.
• Scoop about 1/3 cup of dough per cookie, roll into balls, and place the balls at least 3 inches apart on the greased baking sheets. Use a fork dipped in water to flatten the balls slightly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are golden brown with slightly browner edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheets 3 to 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on racks.
• To make glaze, whisk confectioners' sugar, water, and maple syrup together in a bowl until smooth. Let the glaze stand about 5 minutes to slightly thicken; drizzle onto the tops of the cookies. Allow glazed cookies to stand about 20 minutes to set up before storing.
