So in my summer quest to keep busy baking... and not eating it all I sent some new cookies in the mail. A dear friend of mine took the bar exam this summer. Thus, the beginning of her "vacation" was filled with 10hr study days. I decided to send her some sweet 'n' salty cookies to celebrate the beginning of the end of her training as a lawyer and the beginning of the beginning of her chosen profession (lawyering).

I have always been a fan of the sweet and salty combo which usually ends up being chocolate and peanut butter in my book. However, I wanted to try something new. And since the bacon craze has died down a bit I felt it was okay for me to jump on that bandwagon without being accused of trying to be too trendy. I looked through my bookmarked food pages and came across an awesome recipe for peanut butter and bacon cookies at Joy the Baker.

What makes this recipe so awesome? It has no flour! How amazing is that?! As a result, the cookies were super easy and baked super quick. Which on a hot summer day makes for a GREAT time in the kitchen because I don't end up shvitzing into the batter.... Which I never do anyways (ever) b/c that'd be gross. That's what headbands are for people! Now without further ado....

A last note on the final pick... the cookies look foggy because my rule for sending baked goods in the mail without paying $30 to overnight them is to freeze them first. Then I send them priority mail for a lot less. This hopefully explains the wee bit of condensation on the bag/ The days following my friend's bar exam were kind of wild and crazy. I do know she got the cookies...and I think she enjoyed them. I had fun making them!
