Impostor Pork Confections

These Bacon Cookies Offer a Sugary Sweet Impression of the Real Deal

— April 18, 2012 — Lifestyle
Fake out the bacon-lover in your life with these uncanny Bacon Cookies. Created by the baking blogger Jennifer from the drool-worthy blog 'Not Your Momma's Cookies,' these precious porky treats look like they belong alongside a couple of sunny side-up eggs. Without the aid of fondant or frosting, these cookies manage a knockout appearance that will astound your family and keep them coming back for more.

Despite of their appearance, these cookies are not spiked with the beloved pork product they represent. A simple combination of deep red, coral and yellow cookie dough, these Bacon Cookies achieve a near perfect impression of classic streaky bacon. Complete with sugar dyed black to emulate pepper and a wavy crisp texture, these deceptive sweets will confuse your head and please your tastebuds.

Cute, clever and fun, these faux breakfast foods will cause hilarious confusion and delicious delight.
