Perfect Pairings
I already use my Bourbon Bacon Jam in a multitude of ways. Spread on a BLT, hamburger, on a piece of bread and on top of deviled eggs. So you can imagine these cookies can be paired with just about anything!
If you like the sweet and salty combo of bacon desserts, try Chocolate Covered Bacon, Candied Bacon and Maple Bacon Cheesecake. Chocolate Bacon Cookies are also great for Christmas Cookie platters and trays!
5S Philosophy 👩🏻
- Salt – I like to top these bacon cookies with a sprinkle of fleur de sel. Not only do they contribute to the sweet and salty combo, but they also add a nice crunch.
- Seasonings – Add a splash of vanilla extract to the bacon jam for warmth, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the cookies.
- Swaps – I like to use dark chocolate for these cookies, but you can certainly swap it for milk chocolate or white chocolate. You could even use colored melting wafers to make them festive for different holidays.
- Sauces – If you want to take these cookies a step further, try serving them with a dessert dipping sauce like Homemade Fudge Sauce or bourbon sauce.
- Senses – Crispy and indulgent, these bacon cookies sandwich smoky-sweet bacon jam between vanilla wafers, then dip into rich chocolate for a crunchy, salty-sweet bite that lingers.
