Ingredients

Bacon:

• 12 slices of bacon, finely chopped

Cookie Dough:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into large cubes
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup raw sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon), for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Craving a bold flavor explosion? Place an oven rack in the middle position and heat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. For the bacon: In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until it's crispy and the fat is rendered. Drain the fat, then stir in the maple syrup. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the syrup thickens into a irresistible glaze. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and allow it to coolthis sweet-savory magic is your secret weapon!
2. For the cookie dough: Using a stand or hand mixer, cream the butter and both sugars together until fluffy and light, about 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated, then add the vanilla and mix for another 30 seconds. Using a wooden spoon, fold in the flour and baking soda until just combined. Stir in the maple-glazed bacon and milk chocolate chunks for that perfect sweet-salty crunch that'll have everyone hooked.
3. Drop heaping teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle each cookie with flaky sea salt. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn goldenwatch them transform into chewy bliss!
4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Grab one (or three) and dive into bacon-meets-chocolate heavenyou won't believe how addictive this is!
