🍪🥓 Happy National Homemade Cookie Day! We’re celebrating with a sweet-and-salty twist: **Maple Bacon Bit Cookies!**
Soft maple sugar cookies meet creamy maple cream cheese frosting, **Westin Packaged Meats Real Bacon Bits** and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. Ready-to-use bacon bits make the finishing touch easy—just sprinkle and enjoy! 🍁✨
**Here’s how to make them:**
🍪 **Cookies:** Cream 6 tbsp softened butter with ½ cup plus 3 tbsp sugar. Beat in 2 eggs, 1½ tsp vanilla extract and 1½ tsp maple extract. Mix in 1¾ cups plus 2 tbsp flour, 1½ tsp cornstarch, 2 tsp baking powder and ¼ tsp salt.
❄️ **Chill & bake:** Refrigerate dough for at least 4 hours or overnight. Scoop into about 17 cookies, spacing them 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at **350°F for 13–15 minutes**, then cool completely.
🤍 **Frosting:** Beat 3 tbsp softened cream cheese with 10 tbsp softened butter, ½ tsp maple extract and ¼ tsp salt. Gradually mix in 3½ cups powdered sugar and 1½ tsp milk, adding a little more milk if needed.
🥓 **Finish:** Frost the cookies, sprinkle with **½–¾ cup Westin Packaged Meats Real Bacon Bits** and lightly drizzle with **2–3 tbsp pure maple syrup** just before serving.
