Smoked Brown Sugar Cookies (aka Bacon Cookies)

Brown Sugar Cookies

These cookies feature our Smoked Brown Sugar and they are addictive! Mildly reminiscent of a s’more but also a sugar cookie laced with toffee – we think they are a hit. Some think the smoky flavor adds just a hint of bacon – what could be better bacon in a cookie?? It is a complex flavor that always pleases.

We use these as samples at our farmers markets locally and while most people have heard of a sugar cookie – most have NOT heard of a brown sugar cookie – much less a smoked brown sugar cookie.

Oh Yea – they are also super simple to make too. If you have two large cookie sheets you can put a dozen on each and be done baking in about 15 minutes! (A double batch makes scads of cookies for a crowd too.)

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 24 Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter – room temperature
  • ¾ cup Signature Smoked Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup regular brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, beat together butter and both sugars for 5 minutes.
  • To the sugar and butter mixture, add in the egg and vanilla. Mix for one additional minute.
  • Mix in the flour mixture until uniformly combined.
  • Use a spoon or cookie scoop to shape small balls about 2 tablespoons each. Arrange 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet (do not press down or shape the cookies).
  • Bake 8 minutes, or until the edges are just slightly gold. To preserve the chewy yumminess of this cookie do not bake too long (if you think they look just a bit under-done in the middle – then they are just right)!

Notes

These cookies might become slightly crisp initially, but will become soft and chewy once again if stored in an airtight container. These cookies are amazing dipped in a hot cup of coffee!
