These go Way beyond ordinary cookies.

Dare I say these make the perfect breakfast,

well, there is oatmeal and maple and bacon and those are all breakfast items,

but these are really great when it’s not breakfast time.

The bacon in these cookies reminds me of how delicious walnuts are in chocolate chip cookies.

Since I have someone in my house that doesn’t like walnuts (I think that is weird) I wondered how well the bacon would go over.

They were a huge hit with that little someone and everyone else.

Be careful not to over bake oatmeal cookies a couple of minutes will have your cookies go from chewy to rock hard,

oats absorb the moisture in the cookie and the cookies do get firmer when they cool.

There are many reasons I like these cookies, the smell, the taste,

the salty-sweet deliciousness,

the way they remind me of breakfast and best of all these cookies hide really well in my pocketbook,

and make a great snack where ever I am!

    I sent a triple batch of these off with 12 runners doing a 200 mile race. They loved them!! They tasted amazing! Chewy, but not sticky. I will prob add more bacon next time, but you can definitely get the sweet/salty vibe in these cookies. There isn’t a strong maple flavor (although you can tell it’s in there) so maybe you can up the amount a little if you want it more prominent? Keeper! Next time I might make a bourbon glaze to drizzle over them if I’m not packing them for a trip.
