Kat and I made Bacon Cookies last night at a party as promised.
Kat perhaps did the best review when she said:
Needs gravy
They were pretty dry. Some people said they’d be great with split pea soup. They were definitely good for shock value “You’re making what???”. Probably just needed more bacon (but I already put in twice what the recipe called for).
Boy, those bacon cookies look good to me. As someone who has been known to eat bacon as part of each of the 3 meals of the day, these could prove a godsend for filling the gaps between meals.
They’d make an easy adaptation to the nut shortbreads I’ve cooked in the past, as a low carb alternative to normal cookies.
Good to see someone else addressing the needs of the pork product lover and I expect I’ll be adding a link to http://www.porkscratchingworld.com
Being of German heritage myself, I have tried the small bread roll version of these and sadly those too are dry. I used double quantities of bacon and rendered port fat to lend more moisture to them to no avail. I was told afterwards that stylistically they are supposed to be on the dry side. Mmm, will have to do some more experimenting.
