St. Marie Marguerite d’Youville

St. Marie Marguerite d’Youville was Canada’s first canonized saint. At the risk of perpetuating Canadian stereotypes, I found these Maple Bacon Cookies that your group can snack on while they learn about this great Saint.
Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 eggs
2 tsp maple extract
2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet morsels
4 thick slices bacon, cooked (see note below)
Instructions
NOTE: Before starting, cook bacon. Lay 4 thick slices of bacon on a small baking sheet lined with foil. Top with 1/3 cup brown sugar. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on piece of foil. Cut into small pieces when cooled and set aside for cookies.
In mixer, beat butter with brown sugar for 4 minutes. Add salt, eggs and maple extract. Slowly add in flour, baking soda and baking powder. Fold in bacon and chocolate chips.
Scoop by large tablespoons onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Allow to sit on pan 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!
These were delicious! They were eaten up within a day in my house. No one turned their nose up at having bacon in their cookies, in fact, most people couldn’t even taste it. The maple wasn’t very strong, either. If you want to use real maple syrup instead of maple extract, it would lend a nice taste and texture to the cookies.
