INGREDIENTS (Makes roughly 12 cookies, depending on size)
1l Vanilla ice cream
100g Macadamia nuts, lightly toasted & chopped
30ml Honey
200g Woody’s Brands Premium Cut Diced Bacon
500ml Cake flour
2ml Baking powder
2ml Salt
180ml Butter
250ml Brown sugar
125ml Castor sugar
1 Large egg & 1 egg yolk
10ml Vanilla extract
30ml Milk
200g Chocolate chips
METHOD
Start with making the ice cream so it can set in the freezer while you follow the Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe.
Soften the ice cream slightly, add the macadamia nuts and the honey and mix to combine. It doesn’t matter that the honey isn’t thoroughly mixed. Place the ice cream back in the freezer to harden again.
Next, make the biscuits—Preheat oven to 180°C.
Grill the bacon until crispy. Leave to cool. Once cooled, place the cooked bacon in a blender and blitz until coarse powder consistency. Set aside.
Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium bowl; set aside.
Using an electric mixer, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly combined. Beat in egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined.
Add dry ingredients and beat at low-speed just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and the bacon powder.
Measure 60g balls of dough and place onto the prepared tray, leaving room between each ball to spread.
Bake until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden, but the centre is still soft and puffy (approximately 11-14 minutes). It is crucial not to overbake! They will Harden on cooling.
Cool cookies on the tray until able to lift without breaking. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
As a suggestion, place a large dollop of ice cream on one cookie and top with another cookie and press to sandwich the ice cream. Optional to drizzle over syrup. Serve immediately.
