Bring bold, classic American flavours into your kitchen with our latest collaboration featuring recipe creator Chloe Hood.
These Blueberry, Bacon & Maple Syrup Cookies are a deliciously unique twist on the sweet-and-salty (swalty) cookie trend, stacked high like an irresistible tower of pancakes and finished with a glossy drizzle of maple syrup.
Crafted with nutty brown butter, rich maple sweetness and chewy pops of dried blueberries, each cookie is studded with smoky, crispy bacon and elevated with the deep, rich flavour of Maldon Smoked Sea Salt flakes. The result is a cookie that’s decadent, surprising, and perfectly balanced – sweet, salty, smoky and buttery in every bite.
Perfect for adventurous bakers, weekend treats, or anyone craving a standout cookie recipe.
How to make Blueberry, Bacon and Maple Syrup Cookies
- Heat butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, stirring continuously, until deep brown and smelling nutty. Cool to room temperature.
- Using an electric mixer, beat together browned butter, sugars and maple syrup.
- Briefly mix in the egg and vanilla to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, bicarb and Maldon Smoked Sea Salt.
- Gradually, using a spatula, fold the dry mixture into the wet.
- Before the dough is fully combined, fold in the dried blueberries.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal balls (approximately 70g each).
- Roll the top half of each dough ball in the bacon pieces.
- Place on baking paper, cover and rest in the fridge overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 180°C (fan).
- Space dough balls out on cold, baking paper-lined trays. Bake for 9 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and bang the tray on the kitchen counter three times. Then, apply a circular motion around the cookies, using a cookie cutter.
- Bake for 4 more minutes.
- Repeat tray bangs and circular motion.
- Whilst they’re still hot, sprinkle with Maldon Smoked Sea Salt.
- Leave for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Stacked them up and drizzle over maple syrup!
