Instructions

Beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl for about 2 minutes until light, creamy, and fluffy.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until smooth and fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined and no dry streaks remain.
Gently fold the ⅔ cup of chopped cooked bacon into the dough using a silicone spatula until evenly distributed. Optional: Chill the dough for 30 minutes for a thicker bake.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 1½-tablespoon portions of dough onto the sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers look set.
Whisk together the powdered sugar, pure maple syrup, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over cooled cookies and top with extra bacon bits before serving.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Let the cookies cool before drizzling with the maple glaze so it sets nicely.
