Bacon cookies

Sarah asked me for the recipe for the "bacon cookies" my friend Carrie made for the KS gtg. Here ya go!
Short Stack Cookies
Ingredients
•1 1/2 cups melted butter
•2 cups white sugar
•2 large eggs, beaten
•1/2 cup maple syrup
•2 teaspoons baking soda
•1 teaspoon salt
•1 teaspoon vanilla
•4 cups all-purpose flour (pack it down in the cup)
•1/2 cup white sugar for coating dough balls
•4 pkgs of real bacon bits
Steps
1.Melt the butter then mix in the sugar. Set the bowl aside on the counter to cool to room temp.
2.Once the mix is cool, add eggs. Mix everthing thoroughly. Mix in the maple syrup, baking soda, salt, and vanilla.
3.Add flour in one cup increments, mixing after each addition.
4.Chill the dough for at least 2 hours before baking. (overnight is fine too)
5.When your ready to bake preheat oven to 350
6.Mix sugar and bacon bits in a bowl. You will use this to coat the dough balls
7.Roll the dough into walnut sized balls and then roll them in sugar mix. Then place on a well greased cookie sheet (or I used parchment paper on cookie sheet, less clean-up) 12 cookies to a standard sheet.
8.Flatten the balls with metal spatula or hands.
9.Bake cookies at 350 for 10 to 12 min or until nicely browned.
10.Take the cookies out of the oven, cool them on the sheet for 2 min then remove to cooling rack. ( If you leave them on the sheet for too long they will stick)
