Candied Bacon Cowboy Cookies
I got to try out another new recipe for one of our Crossfit get-togethers this weekend (Happy birthday Jon!!!). These cookies ended up being a big hit, so I wanted to make sure I got the recipe up right away. These [almost] Paleo Cowboy Cookies were inspired by a couple different recipes I discovered. The basic cowboy cookies are packed with oats, chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans. In my mind, the combination of candied bacon, chocolate chips, coconut, and banana made these much more tasty than the original. :)
Ingredients
Candied Bacon
5 slices raw bacon
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Cookies
1 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup avocado, mashed
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
4 Tablespoons raw honey
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut chips or flakes
2/3 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips (soy, dairy, and nut free!)
Directions
Candied Bacon
1) Preheat oven to 350°F.
2) In a small bowl, toss the bacon and maple syrup until the bacon is evenly coated.
3) Lay the bacon on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
4) Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until crisp. While bacon is baking, get started on the cookie mixture.
5) Allow bacon to cool after removing from the oven, then crumble into small pieces to put in the cookies.
Cookies
1) Preheat oven to 375°F after bacon is finished.
2) Combine all of the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
3) Combine all of the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and mix well.
4) Add the wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and mix until fully combined, making sure there are no clumps of coconut flour.
5) Mix in the crumbled candied bacon, chocolate chips, and coconut chips/flakes.
6) Form dough into ~2 Tablespoon-sized balls and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Flatten the balls slightly so they resemble the picture below.
7) Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops start to turn golden brown.
