Verdict: Bacon and walnut cookies

Weird. But most definitely in a good way. I'm utterly perplexed - this shouldn't work, but it most definitely does. And not in a novelty way - they really stand up on their own merit. The bacon tastes exactly like you expect bacon to taste - salty and meaty. The cookies taste of bacon. But they're definitely sweet. And it just works.

I don't think the walnuts really added anything - I thought they'd provide an interesting distraction from the bacon, but they're just completely overpowered by it. And now, having tried them, I don't think that caramelising the bacon would work. But it really doesn't matter - these are pretty darned awesome in their own right.

The question is, where will it end? If bacon cookies works, how about bacon cupcakes? Or bacon cake? Bacon sorbet???!
