Bacon and cookies...the combination might sound odd to you, but they are so freaking good with salty, nutty, and crunchy texture. Highly addictive!
- 50 g Bacon
- 120 g Butter, cut into small pieces
- 60 g Caster sugar
- 50 g Egg white
- 200 g Pastry flour
- 1/2 tsp Dried thyme
- 50 g Pistachio, roughly chopped
- Cook the bacon until crisp. Dry them in a paper towel and roughly chop. Line two baking trays with paper. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites until combined. Add in the pastry flour, dried thyme, and chopped pistachio. Work the mixture until it comes together. Fold the cling film so that the dough is completely covered. Lightly roll it until you get a log, about 5 cm in diameter. Chill them at least 2 hours or overnight until thoroughly firm.
- Preheat the oven to 175C/350F. Line two baking trays with paper. Remove from the fridge, and slice the log into cookies, about 5 mm thick. Place the cookies on the prepared trays and bake 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on wire racks. Stir them in an airtight container for at least a week.

'OMG'....are you kidding?! These sound insanely good. Is there anything that is not made better with bacon? The flavors sound beyond fabulous. Can't wait to make them. Thanks for such a unique post!

You are not kidding, so freaking good! I love pistachios, I think they are my favorite nut and with the bacon.

Not a lot of ingredients :) I'm sure these are addicting. I'd luv to make these cookies and see if the people I serve it to can determine that there's bacon in it. Beautifully presented, Angie!
What a clever combination of ingredients. I'm sure the saltiness really comes through nicely.
A little salt, a little sweet and combined - deliciousness. Love this. Bet I couldn't stop at one!

Wow...these cookies do look addictive. They look so crunchy and delicious. I love the savoury taste to it. Keeping this to try. Thanks very much for sharing.
It may sound odd but it also sounds perfect. I love the sweet and salty combo!
I can definitely see how the smoky, salty flavor of the bacon would be delicious here. They look fantastic, Angie!
YES!! Sign me up for 5 dozen please!!! Bacon makes everything taste good!!!
There are not enough bacon baked goods in the world. Thank you so much for addressing this, you are a legend, Angie!
These look and sound delicious! The bacon in a cookie threw me for a sec but I can see how the salty smoky would be a nice thing! You always come up with such delicious and different things. Well done :)
I've seen bacon added to chocolate desserts but this is the first recipe that actually appeals to me! I don't know if it's the combination with pistachios but they do sound wonderful (not to mention beautiful!).
OMG, savoury and sweet! And with bacon .. now this is one cookie I have never tried before and wishing that I had some of yours right now!
I love the bacon in this recipe... Looks deeelish, you have two of my favorites in this one. I don't do much baking, but my wife does. I going to add this to her recipe collection!! Great pics too Angie!!
I'm behind the times - I've never had bacon in a baked good! But that wouldn't stop me from most likely having 2 or 3 of these! Thanks for sharing, Angie. They look wonderful.
Oh, these do look deliciously dangerous! One of these days I'm going to put bacon into a cookie. I bet my husband would love these! ;)
You took bacon to a whole new level!
Those cookies are irresistible!
Wow, what a fabulous combination - bacon and pistachios! These look divine. :-)
You got me at the bacooon...yummy!
I like your style of cooking and baking cos you like to add savory aspects into baked sweet goods!
I was glued to this lovely pic.. as soon as I went thro in my reader...
hurray for savory cookies! thank you for posting this. i've been looking for bacon recipes and i'm dying to share this with a friend for our cookie recipe exchange! i'd also love to try this one at home :) the cookies look very tasty!
Angie. I will trust you on this...and I may give these a try over the weekend! Even though you don't see bacon in cookies very often, I imagine that the saltiness adds some great flavor to the buttery cookies. Thank you for sharing. I hope your weekend is full of love and fun.
Angie, Bacon and pistachios what an amazing flavor combination. I am totally impressed with the bacon-I can see why you think this would be "freakin good". You don't think of bacon and dessert but, that's crazy, we need to think of the salty goodness bacon can add to baked goods.
Cheers!

It sure does sound odd Angie! Oddly delicious!!! Sweet and salty is one combo I can't resist! These remind of the potato chip cookies I have been wanting to make.
Seriously, Angie, where do you find the stuff you do? You find the most unique things, combinations one would never think to put them together, and you put them together in such a delicious and wonderful way. These sound sooooo weird, but I want to taste it!
Angie, I did a double take when I saw your flavour combination. Love your innovative approach. These savoury biscuits would be a real hit at a cocktail party. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I believe you when you say these are addictive. They sure look tasty and a savory cookie is a nice change.
The combination of bacon and cookies is really really new to me. But it sounds great! Should try it somehow.
Bacon in cookies? Wow! Sounds and looks good! I can imagine must taste good too!
Bacon cookies toooooo good! All good stuff to make irresistible cookie!
Wow Angie!
I am fascinated by this flavour combination daaaaaaaahling, and if you say its so yummy, then i totally believe you. They certainly look great!
*kisses* HH
wow, how interesting this is.... but is this cookie sweet or savory???? hmnnn... there's only one way for me to find out -- i gotta try this :o)
Where did you get this idea? It looks like a shortbread cocktail cracker recipe to me... it is savoury, is it not - or could be without the sugar, I guess. I am IN!
:)

Angie, I don't personally eat bacon, but I'm sure digging the creative flavor combinations and crunchy texture of these cookies! Your pictures are wonderfully enticing too!
Angie I am so intrigued by the thought of bacon and pistachion in a cookie. Another wonderful recipe! Hope your weekend is peaceful. :)
I made these tonight and they are delicious. I did not have any dried thyme, so I used herbs de provence. Probably more savory than they should have been but delicious with the bacon and pistachio combination. Great colors, too.
oh wow these do look amazing what a great idea for a savory cookie
What a great recipe! Who would have thought to add bacon in cookies! Absolutely loving it.
I remember the first time I read about bacon in desserts, I think it was when the craze for bacon in ice-cream hit taste spotting. Do you remember that? Your cookies sounds heavenly.
Be still my heart!! two of my favorite foods in a cookie....sigh...I bet they were so very very good! I may have to make these, but my wife won't be happy..lol
thanks for sharing your creation!
Dennis
Angie - I didn't have you pegged as an evil genius - one talented cook and baker, but holy cow - you've trumped yourself with this one.
Angie your photos are always terrific, which makes everything you make mouthwatering!
~ingrid
This is not odd at all, my kids go crazy for this type of recipe...
They look delightful and your photos are gorgeous, as always :)
love it whenever I see bacon in cookies/muffins. the pistachios are a nice touch too!
I had to do a double take when I read this. Bacon and pistachios? So strange but I can imagine it working. Where did you get this brilliant idea Angie - I love it!
Cookies that would make me addicted! A magnificent combo.
Cheers,
Rosa
Hello Angie! Again another wonderful, creative recipe! Good ingredients make good food! xoxo Megan
The cookies sound great!
I know the bacon sounds strange but these are something I would love to try! They look so crumbly and sweet and the slight saltiness from the bacon must take these above and beyond any old cookie.
Yum - this sounds great! I love the idea of a savory cookies!
Oh YUM! I would love to see you enter it in The Bacon Games over at http://thebacongames.blogspot.com
Deadline for entry is this friday!
Love that quote! By the way, these cookies are terrific! Even though I would not eat eggs and bacon I would gladly try bacon in a cookie!
Very nice!! I want the whole stack please!!
Bacon Pistachio Cookies WOW! I haven't seen anything like this, they look divine!
I think these bacon recipes I keep seeing are such fun! I've got to try this one. Bacon and pistachio . . . yum!
Ohhh that looks so good.
et tu Angie? sigh.... will this bacon as dessert phenomena never end? I hates it.
Other than the fact that they're in a sweet cookie form, These ingredients sound good together. I might have to adapt this to a savory cracker recipe. We'll see how ambitious I get. :D
i've decided i'm okay with bacon popping up in desserts everywhere. here, it contributes to both appearance and flavor--well done!
I am making these now...in the fridge and ready for the oven soon! Yum....
My first thought was...Huh? But then it clicked. I LOVE the sound of these! Totally bookmarked!
You had me at Bacon
These cookies are fabulous! I just tried making some and it was really awesome. The whole family loved it!
Wow! This is pretty cool! I have never tried using bacon in cookies! This is lovely.
