• Place dough on a sheet of wax paper and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Remove dough from fridge. Pinch off 1 ½ -inch pieces and roll into balls. Set dough balls about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten dough balls in the center slightly with your fingers. Bake about 10 minutes, or until the dough starts to turn golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on a cooling rack while you make the glaze.
• Maple-Cinnamon Glaze: Mix 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon maple extract, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon cinnamon with enough water to make a thick glaze, about 3 tablespoons. Mix all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If lumpy, use a whisk.
• Spread a small amount of glaze on top of each cookie and top with a small piece (1 to 1 ½ inches) of crisp bacon.

• 1. Sift all dry ingredients(flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon) together set aside
• 2. In a stand mixer, using paddle attachment on medium speed, cream butter and shortening until well blended, add sugars, continue to mix, add eggs one at a time, until all ingredients are incorporated, scraping sides of bowl, frequently.
• 3. Slowly (on slow speed) add flour mixture a little at a time, until risk of flour flying out, is gone. Then increase speed to medium, continue mixing until it's the consistency of soft dough. Hand stir in nuts and cinnamon chips to dough until well blended. Cover and chill for an hour (or overnight is fine)
• 4. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. drop tablespoon size onto cookie sheet spacing 2 inches apart. Bake at 350: 10-12 minutes. Cookies will have a soft center with crispy edge. Sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture while still warm. Cool, Enjoy!
