Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp baking powder
- 1 jar apple butter (approx. 16 oz)
- 6 strips turkey bacon
- 3 tsp brown sugar
- For the cream cheese filling: 0.5 cup softened butter
- 4 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare candied turkey bacon by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C), placing bacon on a parchment-lined sheet, sprinkling brown sugar on top, and baking for about 15 minutes until crispy. Cool and crumble into dust.
- For the cookie dough, cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy, then add egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking powder before gradually combining with wet ingredients. Gently fold in apple butter.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop tablespoon-sized dough onto lined baking sheets and bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden.
- For the cream cheese filling, beat softened butter and cream cheese until smooth; add vanilla and gradually mix in powdered sugar.
- Assemble cookies by spreading cream cheese filling on one cookie side, topping with turkey bacon dust, and sandwiching with another cookie.
