Bacon Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies with Maple Glaze

Ingredients

  • bacon (8 ounces)
  • unsalted butter (0.5 cup)
  • white sugar (0.5 cup)
  • packed brown sugar (0.5 cup)
  • egg (1 )
  • vanilla extract (0.5 teaspoon)
  • all-purpose flour (1 cup)
  • ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
  • baking soda (0.5 teaspoon)
  • salt (0.5 teaspoon)
  • quick-cooking oats (1.5 cups)
  • confectioners' sugar (0.875 cup)
  • water (1.5 tablespoons)
  • real maple syrup (1.5 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. When cool, chop bacon; set aside.
  2. Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; stir into butter mixture. Gradually stir in bacon and oats, about 1/3 cup oats at a time. Cover dough with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Thoroughly grease baking sheets.
  4. Scoop about 1/3 cup dough per cookie and roll into balls; place at least 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten balls slightly using a fork dipped in water.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown with slightly browner edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 3 to 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. Meanwhile, whisk confectioners' sugar, water, and maple syrup together in a bowl until smooth; let stand about 5 minutes to slightly thicken. Drizzle on tops of cookies; let stand about 20 minutes to set before storing.
