Bacon Pistachio Cookies

bacon-and-pistachio-cookies
Have you ever had a savory cookie? Last Fall I was browsing through food blogs and came across this recipe for Bacon Pistachio Cookies on Angie's Recipes.  I almost couldn't believe my eyes.  Bacon and Pistachios?  How strange.  But then it hit me…wait a minute…I love bacon…and pistachios…they must make a great cookie!  I bookmarked it to try.  This week I was looking through my list of things to try and came back across it and decided to bite the bullet and make these cookies…diet or no diet.
 
They are a dense shortbread type of savory cookie.  They have the saltiness of bacon, a mild sweetness like a Wheat Thin, the nuttiness of pistachios, and a hint of thyme in the background.

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon until crisp. Dry them in a paper towel and roughly chop. Lightly spray two cookie sheets with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites until combined. Add in the pastry flour, dried thyme, and chopped pistachio. Work the mixture until it comes together. Fold the cling film so that the dough is completely covered. Lightly roll it until you get a log, about 5 cm in diameter. Chill them at least 2 hours or overnight until thoroughly firm.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove from the fridge, and slice the log into cookies, about 5 mm thick. Place the cookies on the prepared trays and bake 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on wire racks.
  • Stir them in an airtight container for at least a week.
