We cut ours a bit thicker, and in wavy rectangles (so they looked like rashers of bacon) and piped melted chocolate along them. The bacon flavour is so subtle; they're just salty enough to make you want to keep eating them, and the texture - perfect. I've had a jar of slowly accumulated bacon fat in our fridge for ages because I couldn't bear to throw it away, and now I'm contemplating bacon menus so that we can make these cookies again!

What a rich weekend!!! I made sandwich cookies out of them with maple frosting in the middle. They were a hit and I can't stop eating them. I blame you for the fact that my pants no longer fit. ;-) Made these this past weekend with the bacon fat left over from making the bacon caramels. What a rich weekend!!!

I've always tended to use it towards more savory applications, e.g. pork belly confit, potatoes, etc. I've wondered about using it in baking, like in puff pastry dough or whatnot. These cookies are so innovative and absolutely brilliant. Love the use of bacon fat here.

I made the cookies (with added chopped hazelnuts) and they turned out very well. I came looking for something to do with the leftover bacon fat, and I found your great blog!

"...a slight modification of David Lebovitz’s Salted Butter Caramel Ice Cream and tender shortbread infused with bacon fat. A grown up ice cream sandwich." Oh, how could you do this to me? I'm have so much to do this afternoon and dinner is so far away and now I am soooooo hungry and desperately in need of this shortbread fantasy. Sigh...
