Improving/Promised Cookie Blog

[j_cheney]

I'm feeling better this morning, but still exhausted. My temperature was back down to normal, 96.5 degrees. (Yes, I'm part snake)

Anyhow, the promised Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie blog.

Anyway, I carefully followed the instructions, and ended up with a dough that looked like this:


I cut that into 36 pieces:


Cooked, then topped each with a maple cinnamon glaze and a bit of bacon garnish:


So, verdict on the cookie?

Well, you don't really taste the bacon in the cookie. It tastes a bit salty, and adds a texture reminiscent of coconut, but otherwise, this is pretty much a cookie. The main argument we had was whether or not to garnish the cookie, or leave it plain to befuddle possible eaters.

My sister has decided to make them for her party on Thursday, so we'll ssee what kind of review they get there.

So overall? The cookie itself is pretty good, but the cooking and crumbing of 2 lbs of bacon makes it really time intensive. I think we decided that the main value of the cookie was the shock value....

I don't think I could get over the effort of cooking, (and the mess,) of 2 pounds of bacon. I'm still trying to find the recipe for my Cardamon-Lemon rounds. Yum, without all that fuss.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Despite not liking Ginger Ale.

THe 2 pound of bacon was disgusting...
