Bacon Grease Gingersnaps!

[txflyguy]

Like my flight surgeon said...”Quadruple bypass special!”

But, I’m going to make these anyway!

I was never big on sweets or dessert, but I definitely need to make some of these.

Thanks guys! These don't last long in my house.

I'm thinking some some bits of candied ginger.

Maybe some candied bacon bits too.

Maybe some candied bacon bits too.

I don't know, most everyone thought the bacon was too much going on and/or distracting.
The Maple creme was like a lock and key, it just went together.
As for the candied ginger, well what can one say, Ginger Snaps with a chewy ginger nirvana center.

I’m getting ready to schedule my 6 month flight physical. Better not mention anything about bacon grease and cookies to the FAA Flight Surgeon...

Excellent recipe Jared! Thanks for sharing.
I've got a mason jar in my fridge that is full of bacon grease and now I know what to do with it!

If I take them to the Michigan SMF gathering in Fowlerville this weekend, I'll be sure to give you full credit. :-)

LOL! Thanks Humdinger. I wanted to come down there this weekend and make a day trip out of it but SWMBO has informed me that I will be attending a baby shower instead. Yay me! (Hangs head in disappointment and shame)

 

[humdinger]

LOL "SWMBO"!
I had to google that one! yeah I hear ya. It's a scary new trend these days....men getting dragged to baby/wedding showers!

Good luck. I'll let you know how it goes.

You know you're going to have to leave it at home that day.

This recipe rocks some really nice ginger snaps, I'm on my second batch.
And you can cook'em soft or crunchy.
I've been adding homemade candied ginger to them.
