Brown Sugar Bacon Snickerdoodles
I’m so excited you all! Today I’m sharing a virtual cookie swap! Yep, we all were paired with someone from our group at random. Then we emailed each other a favorite recipe & we are sharing those recipes here today. I was paired with Loriann Cargill from Thyme for Cocktails & she’s making my Chocolate Amaretto Shortbread Cookies. So you will definitely want to head on over & check that out when you are done here today. She sent me this recipe for Brown Sugar Bacon Snickerdoodles. I know what you are thinking- bacon on a cookie?! Yep – because of the brown sugar it’s more like candied bacon. I have to tell you- it’s so good!!!
You know what I love most about this recipe? It takes something so classic & twists it in a way you wouldn’t normally think of. It’s unique & oh so delectable. You really have to give them a try. They didn’t last long in this house- that’s for sure.

How long will these keep good and how should I store them? Not sure if that’s already listed and I missed it.
Gina Kleinworth says
These should be kept at room temperature in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for about 3-4 days.
