DECEMBER COOKIE OF THE MONTH
DECEMBER: CANDIED BACON SUGAR COOKIE BY BRANDON WALLACE, EXECUTIVE CHEF AT COBBLESTONE GOLF CLUB "It started one Christmas when my daughter wanted to make cookies for Santa. I had always told her that Santa loved sugar cookies, because those were my favorite. That particular year, we decided to step it up a bit—mostly because of the size of her list! So I said, “It’s late at night… early in the morning… so let’s add bacon too.” Once we started making the cookies, I thought about candied bacon (I’m also a huge bacon fan), so we took a last-minute shot at it. They came out so good. I couldn’t wait until she went to sleep so I could finish them off. She’s older now, so we haven’t made them in a while, but I’m thinking about making another batch this weekend because they’re just that good” View the recipe at https://www.clubconnection.blog/2026cookies/december
