Chocolate Chip Cookies with Maple Bacon Sea Salt
These chocolate chip cookies use Maple Bacon Sea Salt to turn a classic cookie into a sweet-salty dessert with a smoky, savory finish. The salt helps balance brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and chocolate while adding a distinctive maple-bacon note that makes the cookies feel more layered than a standard batch. Bake until the edges are set, and the centers still look slightly soft, then let the cookies finish setting as they cool. Serve these cookies warm, cooled, packed for gifting, or alongside coffee, milk, or ice cream.
Ingredients (for 12 cookies):
2 oz butter
5 oz sugar
1 egg
3 oz of flour
½ tbsp of baking powder
A pinch of Maple Bacon Sea Salt
2 oz of chocolate chips
Why Maple Bacon Sea Salt Works in These Chocolate Chip Cookies
Maple Bacon Sea Salt works in chocolate chip cookies because chocolate, butter, and brown sugar all taste better with a little salt. The maple note supports the sweetness, while the bacon-style savory edge gives the cookies a smoky contrast. Stir a measured pinch into the dough, then add a tiny finishing pinch after baking when you want the sweet-salty flavor to stand out.

Add butter, sugar and egg to a bowl
Using an electric mixer, beat until smooth
Now add in the dry ingredients and mix again

Put the dough in the fridge, for about 30 minutes
Now, roll into 12 balls, and place on a silicone matt
