Bacon Cookies Recipe

Fry bacon pieces in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels and cool completely.

Into a large mixing bowl place the flour butter or margarine egg salt and heavy cream. Using the mixer's hook attachment mix the contents of the bowl together until combined; then transfer the dough to the counter and quickly mix with your hands. Knead in cooled bacon pieces and pepper.

Roll up the dough into a log to a diameter of about 1 1/2 inches. Wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate for 2 hours until firm.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove foil cut dough roll into slices and place slices on greased baking sheet. Brush each slice with beaten egg yolk.

Bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until brown. Remove to a wire rack until cooled completely.
