This was the hit of my Christmas cookie trays this year!! I made exactly as listed BUT I added a package of real bacon bits to it. Everyone had fun trying to figure out what was in them. I just put the bacon bits on paper towels on the cookie sheet and put in oven while preheating. Let them cool slightly and added the crisp bacon just before balling up to place on cookie sheet. The maple bacon combination is a favorite around here anyway so why not in cookies too! :0) Thanks for sharing this recipe and try adding bacon bits next time for something a little different and tasty. I have made four batches and shared the recipe with everyone who tasted them.
