Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Contributes to the structure and texture.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, crumbled bacon, and maple syrup until evenly distributed.
Baking
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Use a light hand when measuring flour to avoid tough cookies. Fresh ingredients yield the best results. Optionally, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for chewier cookies.
