Recipe: Bacon Maple Cookies! :)

Hey Beauties!

At the first of the year the little bakery in my town had cupcakes, not any ordinary cupcakes, bacon maple cupcakes!!! and of course I got one! and let me tell you they were to die for! So a couple months ago I got thinking "Hey! I should make bacon maple cupcakes!!" and Shane was all "No you should make bacon maple cookies!" (he's more of a cookie fan) Plus! cupcakes tend to be an all day event!  So today when I started to make them (I have family coming down from Utah) I thought "Hey! I shouldn't keep this delicious recipe all to my self!" So here you go...
