Bacon Toffee Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• In a heavy medium saucepan, combine cream, sugar, vanilla and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a low simmer, and allow to cook for 3 to 5 minutes being careful not to let it get too hot and bubble over.
• Remove from heat and whisk in butter followed by bacon fat; stir until thoroughly combined. Serve sauce warm. Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 10 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
• Place bacon on a foil lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until crisp. When bacon is done place it on a plate and cover with a paper towel, let cool.
• In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking soda and salt, set aside.
• Mix butter, sugar, brown sugar, sour cream, and vanilla together until well blended.
• Add eggs one at a time.
• Slowly add dry ingredients.
• Chop bacon into small pieces and add to the cookie dough.
• Place a rounded teaspoon of cookie dough on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for approximately 10-12 min until edges of the cookie are golden brown.
• Remove from oven and cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute.
• Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Line a baking tray with a silpat, or oil it very well.
• Crisp bacon in a skillet or under a broiler and drain on paper towels. Break or chop them into 1/4" bits and set aside. Don't go too small, because you want them to have personality in your mouth. Use a smoky bacon, ideally lightly cured.
• Place in a heavy saucepan, in this order: 1/4 cup water, 1 stick butter, a large pinch of salt, and 1 cup sugar.
• Over medium-high heat, cook till the mixture reaches 285F, stirring often. In practice, this means that you cook it until it's a good toffee color, about the same color as the old tan m&ms. I'm not kidding about the stirring, though.
• Pull it off heat, mix in the bacon bits, and pour onto the baking sheet. Spread quickly to about 1/4" thick, and let cool for 2 hours.
• Using a hammer or the handle of a large knife, break the toffee into shards. This is best accomplished by whacking it through a folded paper towel.
