  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (use pure)

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer or with handheld mixer, cream together butter and sugar at medium speed for 3-4 minutes. Add salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup continue mixing on medium. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until well incorporated. Set mixer to stir or low, add flour. Mix until well incorporated. Finished batter should have consistency of cookie dough.
  2. Preheat waffle iron. Once ready, spray with cooking spray and spoon out tablespoon sized portions of dough into each division of the waffle iron. Bake for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to crisp up and cool.
  3. While waffle iron is warming up, make glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth. Add a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  4. Once cookies are cooled, dip the top of each cookie into the glaze and return back to the wire rack. While glaze is still wet, sprinkle diced bacon over the top and let the glaze set.
