anniversary blend with bourbon bacon fat gingersnaps

September 18, 2013 by jocelyn Leave a Comment

i brought these cookies into work and announced “i made cookies! and guess what.. i didn’t use ANY butter!”

cookies without butter? sounds terrible! or healthy. or both………

don’t worry, i used bacon fat instead!

it just so happens that these sinful cookies pair perfectly with this years anniversary blend! the bacon fat really brings out the buttery nature of the coffee, while the bourbon brings out a touch of cedar notes. this is a complex pairing, and i think i may have overwhelmed some of my partners with it (the thought of using bacon fat in a cookie could be overwhelming to some!) but the combination of the warmth from the bourbon and the spices mixed with the heavy savoriness of the bacon fat really make this coffee sing.

Just smelling coffee can wake you up. The aroma of coffee can alter the activity of some genes in the brain, reducing the effects of sleep deprivation. And when you do drink that cup of coffee, caffeine reaches your blood quickly.
